The main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 144; 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 6-115; 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A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
