Foliation: this file consists of three physical volumes. The foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio of volume one (ff 1-230), through volume two (ff 231-460) and terminates at the last folio of volume three (ff 461-702); these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
