Description

The vellum is in poor condition and it has warped. There are stains on the recto which Ege notes may have been from candles when the book was used for Mass. There is some smudging, particularly on the recto.; Several decorated initials, done in a simple style with thin red and black decorative lines.; Italian Gothic Rotunda; It was noted by the University of Saskatoon that the materials used to make this manuscript were not the best available. It was made of sheep skin, which is of lower quality than cow skin. There are also spots on the hair side where the animal's hair had not been removed carefully.; Black, blue, and red inks
