Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 322; 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 60-64, and ff 148-317; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
