- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 45; 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 2-40; these numbers are written in a combination of blue ink and pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
