With 8 page booklet in English by Edward Sandford Burgess, written in black ink. According to Burgess, the manuscript was written in Paris by a student from, possibly, Italy, circa 1760-1783.

Large initial C in pink with architectural motif, filled with vines in wash of green, red, and blue, on a background of blue with whitework scrolls, all surrounded by gilding with tiny dotted punch-work.

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. Throughout, numerous red and blue initial letters, embellished with delicate penwork in alternating purple or red., Binding: 2011 binding by Etherington Conservation Services. Dark brown calf over beveled boards.

Five-paneled spine with raised cords laced into boards. White linen head and tail bands. Pastedowns and 2 flyleaves of modern handmade paper at front and back.

The size is typical of the 13th century, versus the large works of the 12th century (per Sir Edward Maunde Thompson (1840-1929) in Introduction to Greek and Latin Paleography). Includes corrections by another scribe. The uncrossed '7' for 'et' indicates Italian origin. However, the script also shows French influence. The appearance of some rounded letterforms points to an early date for this manuscript showing its strong Carolingian influence., Origin: On the leaf before the MS. commences is a note in a 14th c. hand, 9 lines, in red and black, giving rules for finding the date of Easter from 1350 onward. Also on this leaf the 14th c. owner's name apparently appeared, but has been erased; there remains a note that the MS. cost him 19 florins...Also a further note for finding the date of Easter occurs on the last leaf...repeating the words 'mill'io C.C.C. quinquagesimo. This shows the book is earlier than 1350 (Thomas Thorp, bookseller, London).
