Upright format, 370 x 245 mm. 96 folios, paginated partly in
ink by Aldrich, otherwise in modern pencil. The sequence omits
p. 159, and therefore ends at p. 193 (correctly = 192). Collation
not fully ascertained on account of the tightness of the binding,
but evidently a mixture of gatherings of various sizes. (See
below for further comments on this.) Unused ruled staves on pp.
54, 126-30, 158-68 and 187-93. Early 18th-century binding of
brown leather over boards, blind-tooled with fillets and small
ornaments. Index of contents by Malchair, with later annotations
by Havergal. Bookplate 2. 19th-century shelfmark: H.1.16.
Aldrich assembled this manuscript from gatherings that are sometimes
individually numbered. (The gathering-numbers are written in
ink at the upper right-hand corners of their opening pages.)
The following gatherings are identifiable:
