Extent

103 leaves : 242 x 167 (148 x 105) mm

Collation

1⁴( -1) 2³ 3² 4-13⁴, 14⁴( -2); folios 44, 47, 60, 65, 77, and 80 are tipped in. Quires are misbound, as is evident from the catchwords, lower center of last verso (some trimmed away). Original order is uncertain. Several quires appear to be missing: after quire 1, before quire 2, before quire 6, before and after quire 10, and after quire 12. The beginning of the manuscript is missing and a label has been removed from the current first leaf. Two sequences can be reconstructed: quires 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12 (f. 8-33, 74-89) and quires 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 (f. 34-65, 90-103). The documents are not in chronological or alphabetical order. The first digits of the 16th-century foliation have been erased, leaving repeating arabic numerals, 0-9, upper right recto (i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3, ...); modern foliation in pencil, lower right recto.

Support

Parchment

Binding

Disbound; sewn, with paste on spine, but no binding; sewing, probably not original, is very delicate; many quires pulling loose, and several are practically detached from the rest of the codex.

Layout

Written in 19 long lines; ruled in lead; prickings visible.

Decoration

Red initials with brown filigree, showing typical Spanish features, such as "harping" of the filigree; rubrication; occasional marginalia.

Written in a Gothic bookhand by various scribes; some hands, on the final two folios, are slightly later.
