Ms. codex.
Foliation: Paper, i (modern paper) + 111 + i (modern paper); [i], [1-110]; modern foliation in pencil, upper right or lower right corner of some rectos. There are also traces of an original foliation, lower right recto, that does not generally coincide with the modern one. The one unnumbered folio before f. 1 is parchment, probably part of the original wrapper.
Layout: Written in 27 long lines; ruled in drypoint.
Script: Written in a humanistic script by what appears to be a single hand. Additions dated 1557 (f. 103v-105v) are themselves mostly in a single hand, except for the owner's note (f. 103r) and the poem (f. 110v).
Binding: 18th-century half-leather with boards wrapped in marbled paper. Spine has a gold crown and the letters "F. S.," probably for F. Strozzi.
Origin: Written in Italy in the second half of the 15th century (Zacour-Hirsch).
Formerly owned by Joanes Pauli Civitella, dated 1557 (signature, f. 103r); Giovanni di Paulo (poem, f. 110v); F. Strozzi (Zacour-Hirsch).
