Two holes on each board left from clasps, now missing. Spine with four sewing supports, decorated with transverse blind fillets; gilttitling over red morocco label, with double gilt fillets ('CASTILIO DE CURIALI'); modern shelfmark label. Hatched at head and tail. Single head- and end-bands of alternating plain and blue thread. Textblock trimmed and rounded. Endpapers of undecorated laid paper and printed waste functioning as pastedowns (text unidentified, but concerns astronomy).
