No decoration; the space provided for the initials is not used.
Each page consists of two leaves of extremely thin paper pasted together. The paper is now dark brown and brittle (causing loss of text in the lower margins of pp. 1-6). For reasons of conservation the bifolios have now been cut into singletons and these have been encapsulated in transparent Mylar sleeves united in an album.
Binding: Eighteenth century. Kept separately. Marbled brown leather over pasteboard, each cover decorated with a gold-tooled floral border and gold-tooled doublure margin; gold-tooled spine with paper label containing the hand-written number "24068". Marbled paste-downs.
Provenance: Purchased from Laurence Witten on the Edwin J. Beinecke Fund.
