Bound in contemporary calf over wooden boards, both covers blindstamped with circular deer and Agnus Dei decorations, skilfully rebacked, with functioning brass clasps. Large contemporary manuscript title on the outer edge. Very fine copy with no provenance markings (apart from a unreadable small circular rubber stamp in the margin of the first title leaf ). First title a bit thumbed, at some pages very faint water stains but an attractive copy of a very rare book. USTC lists only 3 copies (without the first title). The first title can be found e.g. University Library Köln ( OCLC n° 1072217481).. .
