On the front cover there is a gold-plated plate with the portrait of Ottheinrich in a cartridge , in which the abbreviation OH (Ottheinrich) is noted above and the abbreviation PC (Pfalzgraf, Churfürst) below . Above the cartouche is a gold-stamped angel's head, below the also gold-plated year of manufacture of the binding: 1556 .

The number 1423, which can also be seen on the front cover, is not a year, but the old Roman signature.
