Bindings
Quarter binding of calf over wooden boards. The leather is blind-tooled on the upper cover with a repeated pattern of fillets and small stylised fleurs-de-lys with a repeated pattern of larger fleurs-de-lys in lozenges along the joint with the spine. The lower cover is blind-tooled with the same repeated pattern of fillets and small stylised fleurs-de-lys but with a repeated pattern of circles along the joint with the spine. On the upper wooden board are the remains of a title in ink manuscript, now indistinct. The spine has five raised bands with a blind-tooled pattern of stylised fleurs-de-lys in the third, fourth and fifth panels. In the second panel is a paper label with ink manuscript lettering beginning with the number V but now mostly indistinct. The remains of two decorated metal clasps are nailed to the upper and lower boards with the catch on the upper cover. Losses to the head and tail of the spine have been replaced with new leather. Watermark of a scales inside a circle

Provenance
Early ink manuscript inscription on the back flyleaf: M[agister] Bricij de Cilia. The book once belonged to Briccius Preprost of Celje.
A purple library stamp at the bottom of a2r has been washed and there is a mend to the damaged paper.
On the recto of the final printed leaf is a purple library stamp, washed and now indistinct.
Coloured armorial bookplate of Lord Brotherton on the front free endpaper. The book was most likely acquired after 17 June 1929 when Sir Edward Allen Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
