A made-up set, each volume bound differently. In vol. 1, large initial on a2r illuminated in gold and colors; initials elsewhere added in red and blue. In vol. 2, initials and paragraph marks added in red or blue, capital strokes and underlinings in red. In vol. 3, initial spaces, with guide letters, not filled in; without rubrication. Imperfect: title pages wanting in all volumes.
