Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The paper has also been folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. The wax seal is partially extant on f.163v and has caused some damage to the same. F.163v is also significantly stained. There is an ink splatter over the final word of l.6 on f.162r, and a blot over the first word of f.162v.
