Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal is partially extant on f.248v 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 is a small hole running through the lower left-hand corner of the MS, and some slight staining to the lower right-hand corner of the MS. There are a series of dots of ink above the hole on f.247r. There are two pairs of pin holes on the right-hand side of the MS.
