Physical Characteristics:

Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the last folio with 1147; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.

The foliation sequence does not include the front and back covers, nor does it include the leading and ending flyleaves.

A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
