Sheet C4.5 is misbound as D4.3. This was clearly done at an early stage after printing, given the note in a fifteenth/sixteenth-century hand in the lower margin of D3v.
Binding: Contemporary German blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, with two metal clasps and catches; four corner bosses and two centre-pieces on each cover lost; red-edged leaves. On both covers quadruple fillets form the outer frame within which is a lozenge-shaped heart and arrow stamp, a small flower-petal stamp, and a very worn stamp, possibly a small circular rosette. Further quadruple fillets form the inner rectangle which is subdivided by quadruple fillets into rectangular compartments decorated with a large circular rosette stamp, a second, small heart and arrow stamp, a second small flower-petal stamp, and a circular flower-petal stamp within a lozenge. The spine is decorated with the small circular rosette stamp. Manuscript title at the head of the fore-edge.
