Additional Comments:
The MS is within a rag paper cover that has torn down the middle, creating two separate leaves. The MS consists of three sheets, bifolium, creating 12 pages. The leaves feature a horizontal fold line and multiple vertical foldlines used to create margins. There is an ink stain in the right-hand margin of p.21 and an ink splatter on p.24. Some of the text sparkles due to pounce having been absorbed into the ink.
