Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck-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.
