Notes:

Script: Three hands, all three writing Humanistica Cursiva: in the main part (artt. 2-3) the script (hand A) is vertical; the numbering and the headings of the various texts are in a large and calligraphic form of the same script; in art. 1 (hand B) the execution is sloping and more cursive, and in art. 4 (hand C, resembling hand B) it is even more cursive.
There is no decoration.
Binding: Modern. The covers are two 13th-century parchment manuscript fragments over pasteboard, the spine consisting of a modern blank strip of parchment with the inscription in handwriting imitating early Roman type: “1778. Liber Priapeorum”. The fragments are complete leaves from one manuscript, written in small Gothica Textualis Libraria (Littera Parisiensis); they contain a scholastic treatise in Latin on virtues. The decoration consists of paragraph marks and 2-line flourished initials alternately in red and blue.
