The old numbering of quires (on the R. upper corner of the first page of each) is generally cut off, but quire 21 is numbered KΔ (24) and quire 24 is numbered Λ ‥, showing that there were originally over 30 quires in the volume.
The gaps occur after ff. 42, 47, 49, 51, 68, 102, 122, 138, 164, 166, 168 (a quire?), 191, 199.

There have no doubt been frontispieces to all the principal divisions of the book, but these have been removed.
The surviving ornament consists of (a) a fine arched heading on f. 1, a good deal rubbed, surmounted by two peacocks, between which is a vessel, (b) a large number of handsome initials to the Gospels in gold and colour, (c) a band of ornament at the head of each month in the Menology. Those for Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec, May, are missing.
