Collation
Collation: A–V8.
Types: Types: 180 G (approx. Haebler M60), 94 G (Haebler M88), 64 G (Haebler M88). 10 mm Lombards. 94 G is ‘of the same class as Baligault 96G', to whom Pr doubtfully assigned the printing. The small text 64 G appears to be that reproduced by Claudin II 364, from an Annotationes . . . Margaritarum omnium decretalium (Paris, 20 Mar. 1500), containing the device of Jean Mérausse, who may, however, have been only the publisher. According to Haebler, Typenrepertorium, II, 304, Mérausse's large heading type contains M39, but the title of the Meditationes has M60.
Leaves: 160 leaves.
Line number: 31 lines and headline (A3r).
