- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 401; 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 201-271; these numbers are written in coloured pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence between ff 290-399, which is also written in pencil and circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out. The foliation sequence does not include the front cover, nor does it include the leading flyleaf.
