- Description
-
Script: Copied by two hands, both writing Gothica Cursiva Currens: A) copied ff. 2r-16v21 and ff. 97r-112r; and B) copied ff. 16v21-90v.
Decoration: Art. 1 has red paragraph marks, underlining and stroking of majuscules; this decoration is missing ff. 35v-90v. On f. 1r the 3-line opening initial is clumsily executed in black ink. In art. 2 red paragraph marks, underlining and stroking of majuscules, but also red headings and plain 3-line initials in the same colour, often of fancy execution; art. 3 has the same lower decoration, but neither headings nor 3-lin initials. Artt. 2 and 3 open with complicated large red initials in a style recalling cadels but essentially fanciful.
Binding: Original pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, sewn on three cords. Both covers blind-tooled with fillets, a frame, and vertical rows of stamps: a fleur-de-lys in a diamond, a rosette, an f-shaped twig with two leaves, and a floweret. Remnants of one brass clasp, attached to the rear cover, clutching a brass catch on the front cover. Both metal pieces are engraved.
