- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 90; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. Two previous foliation sequences between ff 2-89 and between ff 29-46, which are also circled, have been superseded and therefore crossed out.
