24x16 cm. Contemporary vellum with manuscript markings. Spine broken, signatures loose. Moderate wear and rubbing from extensive use. 15 leaves on vellum with prayers in Latin transcribed in clean block letters in red and black. Many of the notes and markings are not fully legible at first glance and could possibly yield more information about this prayer book. This is a handmade prayerbook with most pages containing marginal notes in script Latin for use of the priest in conducting services. The author's name is taken from writing on the front cover and may or may not be correct. The date is the product of guesswork, so this could be considerably later or earlier than estimated. Pasted in at the back is an additional 6 pages of manuscript prayers, one of which is apparently a prayer in Latin for exorcism, headed Exorcismo.
