Low

Some items have been emended rather extensively, possibly by a scribe of another part. Between fols. 1 and 2, a little slip is inserted: "21/22". KB Stockholm stamp on fol. 1r and the first front flyleaf. The original front cover has two stickers with the shelfmark.

Moderately decorated (later)

Modern cardboard binding with marbeled paper on the boards; spine and corners in white leather. The golden imprint on the spine reads: "Cod. Isl. Papp. Fol. N:o 98". The front cover of an older binding is preserved and now counted as a front flyleaf.
