101 folios 8vo. 15 x 11 cm. On vellum. Stamped pigskin binding over wooden boards: clasp wanting. Margins cropped in binding, first and last 6 folios slightly damaged.
Written by four different, but contemporary hands: Hand A. Small and clear gothic, 22 lines lines to a page (folios 1-14, 35-65). B. More angular sloped (German?) script, 24-33 lines to a page. (folios 15-30). C. Upright angular (German?) script, 35 lines to a page (folios 30v-32). D. Clear gothic, slightly sloped and somewhat larger than A (folios 65v-end). Initials, paragraph marks, and headings in red. On the first leaf a large decorated initial M in red and blue, with other initials in blue and red, and red and blue. On folio 42v is a faint line drawing of a physician in gown and hood, holding up a urine glass before a patient: on folio 100 a drawing of a grotesque head. The first and last fly-leaves are fragments of a deed on vellum for the sale of a house by Bartholomew von Bibra and his cousin Caspar von Stein dated 1459 [?]. The second fly-leaf at the beginning appears to be a leaf from a contemporary work on canon law.
Parts of the text - which is written throughout with wide margins - are accompanied by copious marginal notes by several 14th and 15th century users.
