Empty space was left for a headpiece on f. 16r supra. Scribe A drew a coloured interlace headband on f. 14r. Scribe B drew in red ink headbands on ff. 132r, 155r, and 158r.
Binding
Binding (sixteenth-century) of blind-tooled brown leather over squared and grooved wooden boards. The boards are flush with the book-block. Two pins, only the upper one of which now remains, were inserted in the edge of the upper board; there are traces two leather thongs once attached to the lower board. The spine is smooth; the endbands raised. The paper pastedowns have no watermarks. The endpapers at the back (ff. 164–165) contain two anchorwatermarks very similar to Piccard online no. 119041(attested in 1572) and to Mošin no. 1542 (attested ca. 1550–1560); chain-distance 28 mm.

Bequeathed by Sir George Wheler (1651–1724), who acquired it in Athens in February 1676: Paris, BnF, Fr. 9467, f. 35r.
