The front cover is decorated with a single fillet to form three concentric rectangles; the inner rectangle is decorated with a pattern formed from a star-shaped stamp repeated in rows, with a rosette at each corner of the rectangle; the second rectangle is decorated with a lozenge-shaped floral stamp and a stamp of a bunch of three flowers, with a rosette at each corner; the outer rectangle is decorated with a pear-shaped foliate stamp and a floral stamp, with a rosette at each corner. Single fillets intersecting in the centre of the rear cover form eight triangular-shaped compartments, which are decorated with the stamp of a bunch of three flowers seen on the front cover and with a rosette stamp at the central intersection and at the terminal points of the fillets. Evidence of two clasps - both now lost. Spine compartments tooled with the same pattern as the inner rectangle of the front cover; 19th-century red leather title label added to spine; 19th-century endpapers; vellum manuscript guards visible in the middle of each gathering.
