Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal is partially extant on f.187v and has caused some damage to the same. The paper has also been folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There is a small ink blot in the lower left-hand corner of f.186v, and several ink blots across f.187. Those on f.187v are particularly large.

Additions:
A second hand has added a bibliographical reference to the upper left-hand corner of f.186r. The same hand has added two marginal notes to f.186v, identifying and expanding on matters mentioned in the text. They are linked to the text through the use of shared symbols.A cross has been added to the top of f.186r.
