- Title:
- Ledät lä-Maryam - The Birth of Mary [1495-1505]
- Scope & Content:
- The manuscript is extremely damaged. The bookblock - all folios are very deformed and dirty on all surface. A strong, very dark water-stain with traces of microbiological infection is visible on all margins almost in the entire book. The glass-like layer of parchment folios can be observed. In most of folios losses od parchment base are visible on all margins. Many folios are detached. The sewing of the book was very weak and was repaired by adding protective strips of new parchment and interlacing with narrow thong along the edges of the inner margins of all quires. The binding - very dirty and dilapidated bare wooden boards.
