Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. The wax seal is no longer extant but has caused some damage to f.218v. There are two pairs of pin holes towards the bottom of the MS.
