The edges of the papers are slightly trimmed. The folio f.1a has an illuminated box executed in gold and blue which has an upper cartouche that contains the title of the book, and a central medallion that contains the author’s name. Margins contain: correction notes, several commentary notes, and announcements of the topics discussed in the main text. Sometimes, the sentences in the main text are completed in the margins. Catch-title is written on the edges of the work and the number 36. The numbering is corrected consistently starting from f.109.
