Foliation

Paper, i (modern paper) + 111 + i (modern paper); [i], [1-110]; modern foliation in pencil, upper right or lower right corner of some rectos. There are also traces of an original foliation, lower right recto, that does not generally coincide with the modern one. The one unnumbered folio before f. 1 is parchment, probably part of the original wrapper.

Paper

18th-century half-leather with boards wrapped in marbled paper. Spine has a gold crown and the letters "F. S.," probably for F. Strozzi.
