Decoration: woodcuts at the opening of every book of the Bible (73 in all), taken from the same blocks of the Venetian printer Ragazzo, who printed in 1490 the Bible in the translation by the monk Niccolò Malermi, (known as "the Malermi Bible"). Of particular interest is the six-woodcut panel at the opening of the Genesis, which depicts the six days of creation [f.26v]. Woodcut initials, 13-11-line, white on black, floriated, with the exception of the historiated initial F on f.17r, representing a saint, probably St. Paul with sword and gospel.
