Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy bound in ca. 19th-century green, morocco-grained leather panelled in double-ruled gilt. The title is panelled and tooled in gilt. The armorial bookplate of the Barton Library is present on the front pastedown. An early inscription that reads, "Coll Soctis. Iesu Bruxell ..." is present at the head of the title page. "A1", also in an early hand, is inscribed after the words "Gesta Romanorum". Evidence of stab sewing is present in gutter margins. In this copy, the final leaf, here conjectured to have been blank, is wanting.
