Copy bound at the time in a 15th century manuscript leaf.
Ex-libris manuscript of the period repeated on the upper back cover: Schwarzman. Bookplates by Einar Josefson.
The volume is not very scorched, as are often the German books of the 17th century, whose paper is of poor quality. The first and last leaves are a little crumpled when in contact with the protruding parts of the cover. Vellum a little stained.
