Central bifolium used as a book cover. Overall fair. Exposed side (Bv-Ar) in worse condition, but still quite readable with some faded ink and minor losses.

Page layout

Fol. A: 375 x 309 mm. Fol. B: 364 x 228 mm. Full page, 7 tetragrams per page, fol. A 258 x c. 185 mm, fol. B 263 x 196 mm.

Foliation/Pagination

Remarks
Decoration and calligraphic text are those of a carefully crafted manuscript. Also remarkable is the indication of mode in roman numerals before 'amen' at the end of antiphons.
