| Condition: | According to the keeper of manuscripts, the manuscript is in bad condition. In fact, this is mainly true for the binding. The manuscript itself is in good condition except for the first and last folios. The final folio has been badly damaged. The outer half has been cut. Miniatures have been excised from f. 124 and f. 239. On f. 114ra, the text is faded. The parchment is of good quality with no tears, stitches and just a few holes (f. 94, f. 295). |
