Burns Library copy on loan from St. John's Seminary: front board detached; vellum lacking but the pastedown, front flyleaf, and pasteboard intact. The board was formed of 6 folio-sized leaves (ca. 38-39 cm.) each cut in half width-wise, forming 12 leaves each 19 x 26 cm. Originally glued together with animal glue, all leaves are now separate and in very good condition. The text of the book would appear to be from an earlier (16th century?) published edition of the Digest; gothic text is in double columns in red and black ink with commentary surrounding the text. All leaves are in a separate four-flap wrapper in the same solander box.
