Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck-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.
