- Title:
- Senodos - Book of Assembly [1595-1605]
- Scope & Content:
- Manuscript is generally in bad condition. The bookblock - deformed, shrunken in all margins due to water damage. Especially damaged are first folios, which edges are very weak, brittle, shrunken and in dark-brown colour. All folios are dusty on all surface, but especially on all margins. The glass-like layer, as an effect of gelatinization process of the parchment, can be observed. A large loss of lower margin in first few quires is visible. The sewing of the book was very weak and was repaired by stab-stitching along the edges of the inner margins of all quires, additionally protected by strips of new parchment. The binding - half leather binding - quite new, in rough, bare wooden boards with a strip of leather covering a spine and attached to the boards.
