Description:
VLF 102 is a paper codex from the end of the 15th c., its leaves measuring 282 x 200 mm. Its watermarks are similar to Briquet no. 1562. The codex is constructed of 8 quires of mostly 10 bifolia, totalling 158 leaves (316 pages). A few catchwords are remnant, as are most foliation numerals. Written space covers 175/180 x 95 mm (20 lines in hard point ruling). The text is written in Littera cursiva formata. Initials have not been filled out. Inscriptions are rubricated. The scribe (or a contemporaneous hand) added marginal comments, as did (to a lesser extent) a 15th-16th-c. hand. The scribe also added an index on ff. 154r-156v. The codex has a 19th-c. cardboard cover with dark leather protection.
