The central panel contains a lozenge-shaped tool with a smaller tool at each outer corner, and stamped in capital letters in black at the top of the panel is the word: Decretal. The spine has four raised bands. In the first panel is a paper lettering piece with writing in black ink manuscript: Francois Fradin Decretrum divisionibus. Written directly onto the spine in the second panel in black ink manuscript is the roman numeral III. At the base of the spine are the remains of a rectangular paper lettering piece on which is printed a small crown. There is evidence that the book was once fastened with two thongs.
