The binding of this book once contained a manuscript prayerbook (now lost). It is now filled with blank pages. Due to its elaborate binding this book was one of those selected by the Royal Librarian Richard Rivington Holmes in 1893 as a fine example of bookbinding in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle.
