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.
Inscriptions/Markings: 

Hand decoration: Rubrication unrealized. Annotations: 16th-century marginal notations, brackets, and underlining, sporadically throughout (annotations not found in other two volumes in Sammelband). Gutter and fore edge staining throughout all three works in volume; marginal staining and loss at fore edge in quire a of Gregory.
