[Preface] (leaves pi1-4) -- [Calendar] (leaves 2pi1-2pi8) -- [Psalter] (leaves 2a1-2g4) -- [Propers] (leaves a1-p6) -- [Common of the Saints] (leaves A1-E4).
Edited by the Carmelite Battista Panetti, the prayers and psalms were modified for the use of Ercole d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, with authorizations from the popes Innocent VIII and Alexander VI. According to the d'Este records and the surviving printing contract, the Duke originally commissioned 1000 (paper) copies, finally paying for 224. Three copies are reported, all printed on vellum.
Imperfect: wanting four preliminary leaves found in other two known copies, constituting a preface by Panetti bearing a date two months later than the imprint.
