Note:

Written in a gothic rotunda hand in two columns. Initials are variously red, blue, or gold, with elaborate pen-work decoration extending between columns and in all the margins.
There are 4 painted borders (ff. 8r, 215r, 269r, 484r), and 103 historiated initials.
Illuminated by two different artists, one named Petrus, the other the Douce Master. Both worked in Padua, probably the place of writing of this ms. (Armstrong, differing from previous scholars who associated it with the Certosa monastery in Ferrara).
Bound in early 19th-century straight-grain red morocco, gilt.
In a slipcase, 31 cm.
