Ms. codex.
Collation: Paper, 22; 1²⁴[-2]; 2-23; contemporary Roman foliation in ink, upper right recto. One folio is missing at the beginning, plus its conjugate at the end (this would have formed f. 1 and f. 24); more may be missing at the end.
Layout: Written in 27 long lines.
Thick rag paper. Quires sewn together with leather. Stitching loose; outer leaves torn and pulling loose.
Watermark: Similar to Piccard V. ii. 99 (Perugia, 1377-1378).
Origin: Written in Valperga (Italy) in the last quarter of the 14th century.
Script: Written in a Gothic cursive script.
17th or 18th-century shelf marks, "No. 37" and "42" (f. 22r). At some point the last extant folio was folded around and considered the first, so that f. 22 would have been in the position of the missing f. 1. The shelfmark "No. 37" is also written on f. 21v which would then have been the last verso of the manuscript.
Purchased, 1958.
