Bound in brown leather over oak boards. Tooled in blind to a frame design with the centre of the frame divided into lozenges. Each lozenge has an impression of a floral lozenge shaped stamp and the edges of the panel are completed with two half stamps. The intersections of the fillets are marked with a small quatrefoil stamp. Within the frame are alternate impressions of lozenge stamps separated by impressions of the quatrefoil stamp. The book is sewn on four bands and has been rebacked and provided with new endpapers. The edges of the leaves are plain with a foredge title written lengthways. The edges of the boards and the turn-ins are decorated with a double fillet. There are brass catches on the upper board and the tawed thongs to the clasps, now cut flush, are secured with oval brass studs. The upper board has manuscript title Collectionia Bede in ep[is]t[ol]ae Pauli under horn held in a brass frame. The endleaves come from a 14th-century manuscript written on vellum in a fine book hand and rubricated in blue and red, from an encyclopaedic work arranged in alphabetical order.
