- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
-
- Material: Paper.
- Foliation: ff 216, plus many unfoliated blanks.
- Dimensions: 105 x 78 mm.
- Binding: Full calf leather binding of gold-tooled mottled calf, with flap, contemporary.
- Scribes: The first compiler was responsible for the bulk of the text, beginning at f 12. The same hand was responsible for additions to Add MS 8239, ff 1-1v. The second and third compilers made extensive additions to this core text, some of which required the insertion of additional pages. The fourth compiler's contribution is by far the smallest and sometimes comprises only one or two entries for a letter.
