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.216. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There are two pairs of pin holes on the right-hand side of the MS.
