Additional Comments:
The MS has been folded into four (since unfolded). The paper has additionally been folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There are small tears to the outer edges of these fold lines. This has caused a hole at the centre of the bifolium fold line. There are several ink blots throughout, and several lines of ink have been added to the lower right-hand corner of f.1v.
