The Latin text is written in a humanistic roman hand with flourishes in brown and red, possibly by Alessandro da Verrazzano. There are 12 full-page miniatures, 1 historiated initial and 3/4 border, 16 large painted initials with part-borders, and many colored small initials. The miniatures may be by Attavante degli Attavanti. The arms of the Nasi and Salviati families of Florence appear on ff. 15v, 16a. A note in Italian on 2 leaves at the front explains that it was made for the marriage of Bernardo Nasi and Fiametta di Alamanno Salviati in 1515. Bound in 19th-century dark green velvet, edges gauffered. In a tray case, 19 cm. Henry D. Seymour, M.P., and Alfred Seymour, M.P. (stamp "AS" inside front board). Bequest of Philip Hofer, 1984.
