Description:
Very Good +; the volume, bound in imitation vellum with gold stamping, is in Near Fine condition with no marks or damage of any kind, but the decorated slipcase has a wrinkle at the bottom, although it is not torn or cut, and is solid.

The original work was probably completed about 1440. Dr. John Plummer, Curator of Medieval Manuscripts at the Morgan Library, where the manuscript is housed, wrote the introduction and commentaries.
