Part I only.
Gathering [*] is bound at the beginning.
Binding: Contemporary Italian (Bolognese?) blind-tooled reddish-brown sheep over unbevelled boards. Four round domed bosses on each cover (two missing from the upper cover). Two clasps (two nails), hinging on the upper cover, now lost. Catches in the form of trefoils with pointed apex. Quintuple fillets form a triple frame. Within the outer frame a border of a stylized floral tool; the innner rectangle is decorated with a five-line lozenge and saltire. Yellowish-brown edges. Single plain headbands. Sewn on five white leather split thongs. Roundels in a three-line diaper in the compartments of the spine. Parchment pastedown and conjoint free endleaf at front and back. Joints in the middle of gatherings and the outsides of gatherings reinforced with parchment. There are many points of similarity with the binding of Auct. O 2.20 (Bod-inc. O‑037). The border tool is of a Florentine type, but versions were used elsewhere.
Size: 348 × 226 × 68 mm.
Size of leaf: 335 × 222 mm.
