Many stains and smudges. Slight wormhole damage, obliterating a few words of text on the first few folios. Edges starting to fray and tear in a few places. Binding and cover in good condition.
This text, with contemporary foliation 1-33, is missing its final leaf and was once followed by a treatise on the cardinal virtues based on Valerius Maximus and others, foliated 35-67, now the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library's Marston 43 (Eugenio Refini, University of Warwick).
These are pages that we pulled aside that disrupted the flow of the manuscript reader. These may be bindings, inserts, bookmarks, and various other oddities.
