According to CIBN the Paris BnF copy has two leaves inserted between gatherings [s] and [t]; the first and the last leaves of gathering [t] are differently set from the Bodleian copy. The Bodleian copy represents the earlier setting which omitted the greater part of ‘Quaestio' 86 and the beginning of ‘Quaestio' 87; these passages are included in the two additional leaves of the Parisian copy.

With a nineteenth-century paper quarter secondary cover with manuscript title and imprint information on a rectangular paper label at the head of the spine. ‘D. Thomae Questiones' along the fore-edge in brown ink. Size: 430 × 300 × 80 mm. Size of leaf: 425 × 284 mm.

On the front endleaf a bibliographical note in Italian refers to Giovan Battista Audiffredi, Catalogus historicus-criticus Romanarum editionum saeculi XV (Rome, 1783). On [b2r] Italian (Roman) three-quarter white vine-stem borders on a blue, red, and green ground incorporating a nine-line initial ‘P' painted in gold; foliate extensions with some gold dotting in the outer margin. In a wreath in the lower margin, a coat of arms(?): the space within the wreath is divided horizontally into two semi-circles, the upper containing the initial L, the lower painted black; Sheppard is doubtful whether this is a coat of arms; moreover, the arms of de Lévis are or, three chevrons sable, for which see L‑115 (Auct. L 1.6,7); see Pächt and Alexander II 107, no. pr. 29. Other initials are supplied in red or blue with violet or red pen-work decoration. Provenance: Cardinal Philippe de Lévis de Quélus?
