Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal is partially extant on f.273v 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. Additional paper has been stuck to the bottom of f.272v-273r to reinforce the pages.
