Is a small folio, now containing 170 leaves of vellum. The Annals commence abruptly on the obverse of folio 33, and end at folio 168, the last two leaves being occupied with matter of a later date. The 1writing and illuminations are in the same style throughout, though, on close examination, the hands perhaps of three or four different writers might be traced.

A leaf or leaves are missing, and the same is the case after folio 135 (vol. II. P. In neither of these two cases, however, has this deficiency been noticed in the pagination (of the 17th century, ) or in any way indicated. In all other respects the volume is in good condition, and bears marks of having been preserved with care.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
