Paper

Binding

Contemporary parchment. The roman numeral I is written in gold on the spine. The manuscript shelved as UPenn Ms. Codex 5 has the roman numeral II written on the spine in the same material and in the same hand. These two manuscripts were probably intended to form a set.

Decoration

Pen and ink ornamental title page with flowers, leaves, birds, and monogram of Jesus Christ (p. 1); pen and ink ornamental endpiece with flowers, leaves, and birds (p. 393); decorated initial with flowers (p. 5).

Script

Written in a cursive script by a single hand, with part of the list of contents possibly written in a second hand. Appears to be written in the same hand as UPenn Ms. Codex 5. Both items also have the same general physical appearance and were probably bound in the same place and at about the same time.
