A full page has 35 lines. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor
catchwords. On the reverse of fol. 149, we read as follows:

Beneath some verses of C. B. Robiatinus, the scholar of Philelphus,
is the following colophon:

I mpressae Mediolani Galeacio Maria Sphortia Inuicti
ssimo duce Quinto ssorente: per Christopliorum
Valdarpher Ratisponensem huius eximiae artis im
primendi consumatissimum Magistrium:* Anno

The verses of Robiatinus, and the colophon, are on the recto of the
150th and last leaf. On the reverse of the same leaf is the register.
Upon the whole, a sound but rather soiled copy. In calf binding.
