Adams J-740; Brunet III, 622.
Folio (335 x 220mm). With final blank, ruled in red throughout, woodcut initials (title faintly browned, some small stains, minor dampstain in flyleaves). Contemporary French limp vellum, sides panelled with central arabesque, flat spine gilt in compartments, gilt edges, spine liner from French manuscript leaf c.1300 (ties missing).
