This rebound volume is lacking title page and the first eleven pages and one page slightly further on have been backed.

The first two pages of the epistle are also missing. 

There are various period ink inscriptions throughout. 

Internally the pages are stained and perhaps the volume has suffered damp. 

There are various other page repairs throughout. 

The volume ends with the Latin index. 

The last ten or so pages have been backed. 

The later binding is of good quality.
