It consists of two volumes. The first volume contains the authentic facsimile reprint of the 140 folios (280 pages) of the original codex. Written in Gothic characters, it is richly illustrated with watercolours on the upper margin of each page that represent the salient episodes of the Divine Comedy. The second volume contains the printed transcription of the original manuscript, accompanied by the historical-critical comments of Ernesto Milano, Director of the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, the library where the original codex is kept.
