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 extant on f.231v and has caused some damage to the same.There are several small ink blots on f.231r and a large ink splatter on f.231v. There are two pairs of pin holes towards the bottom of the MS.
