| Condition: | Average or low-grade parchment, sometimes very thick (e.g. ff. 76-77) or very dark (e.g. 95v-96r), with prominent sewn tears (e.g. f. 152), and holes (e.g. f. 90). Several repairs were made to the parchment before the text was copied (e.g. f. 73). The final quire is short by c. 10mm at the base. |
| Collation: | 114 26 32 4-68 79 84 10-138 145 |
| Quire structure: | The first quire is made up of a quaternion with a ternion (ff. 62-67) inserted between the 6th and 7th leaves. A ternion and bifolium are followed by three regular quaternions. Quire 7 is a quinion wanting its first leaf. A binion is then followed by five regular quaternions. The final quire is a ternion whose final leaf is wanting. |

| General illustration: | |
| General decoration: | Paragraphs are marked by pen-flourished initials (height: mostly 2 lines). For the first quire (excluding the inserted ternion), initials are in red with decoration in blue, and no doubt the work of the artist of Part 1 (the grotesque at the base of f. 56r corroborates this). Thereafter the initials often incorporate faces. Black is used as the opposing colour between ff. 78r and 97r. Initials are not generally executed after f. 130r. |
| Evidence of readership: | Rapid sketches accompany mention of shields, e.g. f. 61rb. Some words are underlined, as per Part 1. |
