Additional Comments:

F.1 has been folded both horizontally and vertically. There are some signs of damage along the fold lines that have been covered with masking tape. There are two small holes beneath the title at the top of the leaf, and two corresponding holes at the bottom of f.1r beneath the text. This is perhaps indicative of the MS having been folded along the horizontal fold line and bound whilst folded in this way.
