1 volume The binding of this manuscript is very tight and the volume cannot be opened more than 90 degrees.10 leaves + 283 [282] pages 8vo. 23 x 14 1/2 cm. On vellum, with 6 paper fly-leaves [16 century] of which four are blank. Modern vellum binding. Some leaves appear to be missing between p. 86 and p. 87, between p. 90 and p. 91, and between p. 247 and p. 248. The pagination omits p. 201, jumping from p. 200 to p. 202.The margins of the first fly-leaves have been repaired, and the figure on p. 65 is slightly rubbed. Pp. 254-269 are on vellum of smaller format (18 1/2 x 12 cm.), and this section and from p. 270 to the end appear to have been inserted, probably later. There is an early 17th century foliation of 8 (p. 210) to 33 (p. 272). A new pagination has been added perhaps by a later 17th century owner, in which p. 201 has been dropped. Pp. 63/64 is wrongly bound and should follow p. 72, and pages 73/74 should follow page 62.
