Description:
VLF 68 is a 15th-c. parchment codex, its leaves measuring 287 x 220 mm. It is constructed of 8 quires of mostly 6 bifolia, totalling 95 leaves (190 pages). Catchwords and foliation were added by the scribe (or, in case of the foliation, possibly by another contemporaneous hand). Witten space covers 210 x 145/150 mm, divided into 2 columns of 43-44 lines ruled in dark ink. The text was written in Littera gothica cursiva libraria. Initials have not been filled out. Rubricated inscriptions were only partially added. The codex has a 17th-c. cardboard binding, protected by sheepskin, typical for codices from the library of Melchisédech Thévenot.
