- Scope & Content:
- The manuscript is extremely damaged. The bookblock - all folios are very deformed and dirty on all surface. A strong, very dark water-stain with traces of microbiological infection is visible on all margins almost in the entire book.

The glass-like layer of parchment folios can be observed. The sewing of the book is 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 - very dirty and damaged bare wooden boards. Numerous damages and losses of corners are visible.
