Edges of upper and lower boards with the remnants of two pair of clasps and catches., Text in a single hand, in a southwestern German "bastarda" script in black ink; leaves lightly ruled in brown, and Date suggested by style of handwriting and capital flourishes, and by calendar arrangement: i.e., ms. includes feasts of St. Dionysius and the Conception of the Virgin as single celebrations, first celebrated as such in 1481 and 1491, respectively; but lacks the observance of the feast of St. Servatius as a single celebration, a practice which dates from 1498, thus suggesting possible range of dates between 1481 and 1498.
