Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal is partially extant on f.2v and has caused some damage to the same. Remnants of this seal can also be found in the left-hand margin of f.1v. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There is a slight ink splatter over the first word of the final line of 1.v.
