3. The manuscript consists of 46 folios, 18 of which contain the Cor Iesu Amanti Sacrum engravings along with their Latin inscriptions. These images are not the original works by Wierix but rather copies made by Johannes Boel and printed in Antwerp.

The blank interleaved pages are filled with Dutch text accompanying the images. Each of the 18 engravings is paired with handwritten commentary in a stylized script.
