Upright format, 200 x 145 mm. Mid 16th-century binding of brown leather over boards, blind-tooled with ornamental panels (including Tudor royal emblems and the king's initials, 'HR'); fragments of brass clasps.

Provenance: purchased in 1917 from Ellis, booksellers (20 New Bond Street, London) by Kenneth Gibbs (1856-1935), sometime Archdeacon of St. Albans, whose collection of liturgical texts was presented to Christ Church by his widow in 1946. Two earlier bookplates are present in the volume; the first has been obliterated by a modern Christ Church bookplate; the second (on the verso of the titlepage) is of Richard Towneley, dated 1702.
