Condition:	Apparently good conditions. A decorated initial at f. 76r was cut off.

Structure

Collation:	1^6?
Quire structure:	Part 2 occupies the last 3 ff. of the last quire of X. At f. 79vb, a later hand (possibly a 17th c. hand) wrote Fl : 11 : 6 : c, that Gabriella Pomaro and Lino Leonardi interpreted either as "quire 11 has 6 folios" or "11 quires + 6 folios", even if the first option seems more likely. Cf. Leonardi et alii, 290.

Physical description

General illustration:	Not illustrated.
General decoration:	The copyist employed standard non decorated majuscules for marking the beginning of the paragraph and left no space for decorated initials. Simple initials without pen flourishes were added in the right margin of the columns, and they double the majuscules. Line fillers as in Part 1.
