Ms. codex.
Collation: Paper, 19; 1¹²(-10), [2⁸], 3-4⁸; [2?], 11, 21-37; contemporary foliation in ink, upper right recto. Quire 2 is missing, as is all but one bifolium of quire 1. References in this record are to contemporary foliation.

Origin: Written in Città di Castello (Italy) in the early and late 15th century, with some 16th- and 17th-century notes, additions and marginalia.
