The translation is 348 pages and contains illustrations of ink drawings and an illustration from another source, glued into the first page. A short selection of 37 pages follows, "Meditations on the Passion of Jesus Christ," with the chapter note: "O Vos omnes qui transitis per viam. Attendite & videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus. Consummatum est." It contains an ink drawing of a cross with a ladder, wreath, spear, and rooster. The motto, "Amor meus crucifuscus est," appears in a ribbon draped over the cross. A book plate on the front cover reads, "Ex Libris Monasterii Sancte Scholasticae. O. S. B. Teignmouth". The translator of the volume is unknown.
