Physical extent
253 leaves (iii + 250) The outer margins of fols. 62, 107, and the lower margin of f. 247 excised. All edges savagely retrimmed with loss of running heads, medieval foliation and marginalia, and spattered with red.
Binding
Standard Merton s. xvii, rebacked; sewn on four bands; chained from the usual position. Fols. i and 250 are modern paper blanks, iv-v and 248–9 paper binding leaves of s. xvii. Fols. ii-iii are a paper bifolium, tipped in, with notes on the contents by W. Meyer, dated 1892, and A. Gercke. Inside the back board is a paper slip with ‘This MS. was examined by W. Scott MA. in November 1903 for Prof. Kalbfleisch of Marburg.’
Provenance
At the head of f. 1 is the James no. ‘82’, at the head of f. 157 ‘91’, s. xvii. However James no. 82 actually covers both parts of the book; his 91 no longer exists. Inside the front board are a table of contents, s. xvii, a sheet of paper with another table, and ‘P. 4. 1. Art:’, canc. and replaced with ‘C. 2. 1 (CCL)’, in red; the College bookplate.
