Additional Comments:
The wax seal on the folio proceeding f.93 has left some staining on f.93r. Tape has been added to the outer edge of f.93v. The wax seal is partially extant on f.94v and has caused some damage to the same. The paper features two vertical fold lines (one of which is close to the outer edge), and two horizontal fold lines.
