Christine de Pizan Lectures to an Appreciative Gathering of Men, from a 15th Century Manuscript
Les Epistres sur le Roman de la Rose is the size of an average modern book. Taking account the binding, the manuscript is about 236 mm by 161 mm. If the parchments leaves were measured without the binding, they would measure: 144 mm by 93 mm. The book is less than 30 mm tall. To preserve the manuscript, archivists at the Bancroft Library have placed it in an acid free box that is just slight bigger than the manuscript itself.
