Material Features1 vol. 220ff. The following folios are blank: ff. 66, 113-115, 117-119, 129, 132, 166-167, and 180-182. Much of the text is inverted in relation to the modern pencil foliation. There is some rubrication in the text, including the first verse of Hosea in vocalised Hebrew on f.109r. Extensively damaged by damp, so that the text in many places is illegible. Rebound in boards ca.1820.
