Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The MS has also been folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides of the page. The wax seal is partially extant on f.135v, and there is an ink blot in the lower left-hand corner of the same. Ink from another document has transferred to the top of f.134r, and from f.134v onto f.135r. There are two pin holes in the lower right-hand corner of f.134.
