This binding is not original to the manuscript, but was added in the early 20th century by Léon Gruel. It replaced a previous binding that was described in the Rosenthal collection catalog as brown calfskin and decorated with a monogram "P P L" within a series of four "S"'s struck through with a vertical line.
