Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal is no longer extant, but has caused some damage to f.189. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There is a large stain in the upper right-hand corner of f.188v. There are two pairs of pin holes in the lower right-hand corner of the MS.
