- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the last folio with 183; 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 present in parallel between ff 2-162; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence between ff 99-183, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out. The foliation sequence does not include the front and back covers, nor does it include the leading and ending flyleaves
