Place of publication and date from Goff, printer from colophon.

Colophon (leaf 16/3v, partly in verse): Loquitur lector ad Vindelinum Spirensem Artificem qui. Q.C. reddit in lucem. Vindeline mee prius hic redditurus in auras / Spiritus & corpus linquet inane meum. Q[uam] tua nobilitas uirtus: atq[ue] inclita fama: / Pectore labatur candide amice meo.

Signatures: [1-15¹⁰ 16⁴], 16/4 blank.

Spaces for initials and rubrics. Blank spaces on 7/2r, 15/3r, 15/5r-15/6r were deliberately left by the printer to indicate lacunae in the ms. used as setting copy.

Printed on half-sheets of "royal"-size paper.

In some copies, the colophon reads "Vindeline meo", sometimes with contemporary ms. correction to "mee"; cf. BM 15th cent.
