Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal is partially extant on f.202v and has caused some damage to the same. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There are two pin holes in the upper right-hand corner of the MS and numerous small ink blots across f.202v.
