| Binding | Original vellum on boards, in good condition. Spine seems to have number ‘12’ written on it at top. |
| Hands | Single. |
| Indications of use | Record of a literary circle/coterie. Addition of poems on blanks before p. 1 suggests later use to record items found subsequently. |
| Item formatting | Occasional swirl or line between items, but in general, items are seemingly back-to-back. |
| Original poetry | Yes, mostly local interest. |
| Page layout | Paginated. 8 pages containing 5 poems before page 1 unpaginated. A graceful arabesque divides items occurring on same page. Conservative use of space (all pages fully filled). |
