Good quality, no significant defects
Twentieth-century tailpiece
St. Luke
Fol. 115 certainly belonged to the manuscript from an early date, and the faded inscription with the name of St. Luke above the frame is written in magenta ink and perhaps in the scribe’s hand. The miniature, however, is almost entirely painted over. Its colors differ noticeably from those used in the four headpieces and initials, which are original to the volume.
Greek; perhaps seventeenth-century; tooled brown goatskin over grooved boards, with prominent brown calf repairs on exterior of upper and lower boards; many quires fortified with paper at gutter; raised endbands; paper pastedowns; parchment flyleaf, probably added by Leon Gruel (foliated as fol. 1); traces of pins and fastening braids
