The volume contains the Papal Bull of Honorius III (1150-1227) 'granting the rule of the Franciscan Order' and constitutions & interpretations by later Popes, the latest being Eugenius IV who was Pope from 1431 until 1447. It is bound in Italian red-brown sheep gilt with a binder’s title: Const. ord. min.; and it is also known as: Codex Primaditius.
