180 x 170 mm. Two columns, 18 lines. 132 leaves. With 13 (8 full-page) miniatures. Contemporary brown calf over wooden boards. Panelled and elaborately stamped in blind.

The illuminations are marked by short strings sewn into the blank margins of the relevant pages. - Provenance: Hartung & Hartung 79 (2 May 1995), lot 127; sold to an Austrian private collection and acquired from the descendants.
