- Manuscript codex., Collation: In quires of 8 (except 1 of 6, 8 of 7, and last of 1). F. 8 first leaf missing. Folio numbers added in brown ink; partially cut off, indicating pages were trimmed. Two blank flyleaves of handmade paper at front and back added in 2011 rebind., Decoration: First page has elaborate illuminated initial and border on three sides with gilding over raised gesso.

The document describes a dark brown shield ... across the center a broad fess azure; above rays gules; below, metallic brown. These details may have been more visible in the past than they are now. However, brown is not a normal heraldic color, so this may be discoloration or a bole (clay) wash under gold which has rubbed off. Above the shield are initials M. A. with red penwork flourishes.
