"Zämmare/ Mäwasecet - Antiphonary, Hymns [1600-1799]"

The manuscript is generally in very bad condition. The bookblock - deformed, shrunken in all margins due to water damage. Especially damaged is initial and final part of the book, were dark water stains on all margins are visible. Edges of folios are very weak, brittle, shrunken and in dark-brown colour. Shrinkage of margins caused creases of central part and further destruction of folios. All folios are dusty on all surface, but especially on all margins. The glass-like layer on the surface of parchment can be observed. A lot of losses of margins in last folios are visible. Many of folios are broken in the gutters and stitched to the bookblock. The sewing of the book was very weak. The binding - bare wooden boards. Front cover new, back one original, very dirty and damaged.
