Additional Comments:
The MS was folded in half horizontally (since unfolded). The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There is some minor staining to the lower right-hand corner of the MS and a hole running through the lower left-hand corner of the MS. There is an ink blot in the lower right-hand margin of f.246v and a tear to the upper right-hand margin of the same.
