Script: Two scribes: A, called S. Bawman (Baumann), from Nördlingen (Bavaria), writes Gothica Hybrida Libraria/Formata with calligraphic extensions on the top and bottom lines (ff. 2r-140v); B writes Gothica Cursiva Libraria/Currens (ff. 141r-168v).
Headings and names of quoted authorities in the text in red. Red stroking of the majuscules. Plain initials in red. Decorated initial (6 lines) in purple on gold background with floral engraving, in a rectangular trompe-l'oeil frame in the shape of a green and red stone slab, on f. 2r; with vegetal border (acanthuses in purple, blue, green and yellow in the four margins). On the facing page (f. 1v, art. 1) full-page miniature in a similar frame and with a similar engraved background in gold: the Annunciation, with God the Father in the upper left corner. Border decoration: at the four corners and in the middle of the sides a golden ball with sprays in ink.
Binding: Original (?) brown leather over wooden boards, blind-tooled with central panel and fillet frames with circular and lozenge-shaped stamps: one recognizes a Christ's head, an angel, birds, and a curious stamp in the form of a wooden branch. Remnants of two brass clasps fixed to the rear cover. Spine (repaired) with three raised bands, the upper and lower one over double thongs, the middle one over a single one. - Provenance
