State of preservation
deficient
Condition
Some fols. are misplaced (s. check the viewer36-41 which probably constitute the beginning of the Vita); some may be missing. The back board is missing; the original sewing is missing. Some fols. are damaged by water (s. e.g., check the viewer42v-43r ).
Binding
Two wooden boards (the back board is missing). Two pairs of sewing stations.
Binding decoration
Originally, the binding consisted of animal threads (traces in check the viewer64v-65r , 70v-71r) in two pairs of sewing stations (holes visible on the folds of the quires). But it was destroyed and the Ms. was rebounded with vegetal threads in two sewing stations (e.g. check the viewer55v-56r ). Later (?), the board attachment was repaired with synthetic threads.
