- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the first folio with 1, and terminates at the last folio with 117; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. The front and back covers, along with the leading and ending flyleaves, have not been foliated. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 2-114; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is present between ff 10-56 and is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
