- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the back cover with 267; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. Two additional foliation sequences are also present in parallel between ff 56-188 and ff 189-229 respectively; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
