Binding: 
Modern stiff vellum over paper boards (20 x 14 cm.), sewn on 3 supports. Plain paper pastedowns and endleaves. The three works were likely not bound together until at least the 17th or 18th century as staining and wormholes are not continuous through the works. The inscription that was on the title page of the Lapide was inked out and bled through to the second leaf, but also offset to the final leaf of the Gregory, which clearly happened after the works were bound together.
Variant Title: 

Resolutorium dubiorum circa celebrationem missarum occurrentium
