Binding noteContemporary German blind-stamped binding in light brown leather over wooden boards with metal clasps, round spine with 4 supports. The clasps are on the right lower board when the book is open, typical feature of German binding. The upper cover and the lower one have the same reticular pattern (unusual feature for a German binding). On the both sides, fillets form a frame; the rectangle is divided by fillets into rectangular and square compartments. In the compartments there are different stamps: a rosette, a lozenge-shaped stamp with a fleur-de-lis , a floral ornament and a few tiny stamps with a fleur-de-lis.
The 4th fly-leaf is attached to the book by a narrow parchment strip with manuscript text in a 15th century hand.
