Hand decoration: Contemporary (Mainz?) rubrication, alternating red and blue initials and paragraph marks, red headlines in calligraphic script including foliation; primary initials are red/blue interlocking with penwork decoration. Manuscript guides for headlines scraped away. Opening miniature for each book likely 19th-century additions from when volume was rebound. Annotations: Extensive Nota bene marks ("No." and clover symbols) and manicules throughout text but minimal textual notations. Quires numbered with Arabic numerals at bottom of first leaf, mostly trimmed away, and some alpha-numerica quire signatures, also mostly trimmed.
