Condition
The Ms. has been affected by humudity and shows traces of extensive use: many fols. are stained with dirt, wax or humidity.

The sewing has been damaged and crudely repaired. Both boards seems to have been reused (there are sets of holes on the outer edges). check the viewer33 is of smaller size (damaged by rodents?).
Binding
Two wooden boards (the back board broken and repaired). Two pairs of sewing stations.
Binding decoration
Tears on the spine fold of the quires, close to the head and the tail.
