- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the main foliation sequence commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the back cover with 100; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is also present in parallel between ff 2-57; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence. A mixed foliation/pagination sequence covers the file notes between ff 70-79. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out. Pagination: the file includes a booklet (ff 80-99) which contains an original printed pagination sequence.
