Some leaves are wanting between pages 258 and pages 259, as noted by the early 16th cent. owner who added the pagination.  The text on pages 76 has almost entirely faded, and in other passages the original text has been written over and partly restored by the same 16th cent. hand. Written in a small current humanistic hand, 39 lines to a page. Some headings in red-mostly faded. On pages 121, 126, 175 are small pen-drawings of alchemical apparatus, and on page 276 a larger wash-drawing of a furnace ('stufa sicca et furnus philosophorum'). Last unpaginated leaf verso: tiriaca est a medicis appellata.
