This book is plainly and badly bound. It is obviously old but has been cherished and looked after. The contents is a clear and thoughtful explanation of the history, practices and organisation of the Hermetic House of Diedne.

The contents of the book has been heavily annotated with vituperative but witty comments by another hand. These comments give a clear perspective of the schism war from the point of view of the Diedne and are especially insulting towards the Tremere.
