- Manuscript is generally in very bad condition. The bookblock - the parchment folios are very deformed, shrunken in all margins due to large water damage. Strong water stains are visible in inner margin with significant traces of microbiological infection. Due to water damage in many places text is fuzzy. At these areas a strong gelatinization process of parchment can be observed. A large loss of parchment in lower part of inner margin is visible in all bookblock. Folios and quires are held together by stab-stitching along the edges of their inner margins. Edges of all folios are very weak, brittle, shrunken and in dark-brown colour.
