| Condition: | The first folio (f. 3r) is heavily worn. Fair to lower quality (e.g. irregularities: f. 6, f. 30, f. 39, f. 82; stitches: f. 7, f. 120, f. 128). The first folios of the second quire (f. 11, f. 12) are worn as well, which may suggest that the manuscript was unbound for some time. The quality of the parchment in the 'Alexandre' part seems to be better, and this part of the manuscript seems to be in better shape. |
