Binding: Original brown leather over wooden boards (worm-eaten), spine with three raised bands; both covers blind-tooled with a frame of strapwork; in its interior two horizontal rows of quadrangular stamps at the top and at the bottom (a rosette and a Pascal Lamb) and a lozenge-shaped central part of the same strapwork. Five pointed brass bosses on each cover (together eight of them are preserved) and remnants of two clasps attached to the front cover by means of two nails with engraved heads; the quadrangular brass catches on the rear cover are engraved with a Pascal Lamb.
In art. 3 the opening letter of each lemma is a pale red 1-line capital projecting into the left margin. Each new alphabetical section begins with a 2- or 3-line capital alternately in red and blue (with a guide letter in the left margin), placed within the text area and followed by a black capital. Between the sections a space of two or three lines is left free.
