Additional Comments:
The paper has been folded to create left-hand margins on both the recto and verso sides. The MS has also been folded in half horizontally (since unfolded). There are remnants of what appear to once have been a paper tab in the upper right-hand corner of f.206r. A vaguely circular imprint beneath the tab suggests that it was affixed with a wafer seal.
