Summary:

Bifolium from a copy of the Decretales, the compilation of canon law made by Raymond of Peñafort by order of Pope Gregory IX, with gloss by Bernardo Bottoni, damaged from use in a binding. The text on the two leaves is not consecutive but is all from Book 5 (De actionibus et inquisitionibus et denunciatoribus), which concerns criminal procedure. Written in Italy in the last quarter of the 13th century. The main text is written in 2 columns of 43 lines, surrounded by the gloss written in 2 columns of up to 78 lines. 2 4-line and numerous 2-line initials in red; a few 2-line initials in very faded blue with red flourishing; one example of rubrication in red.
