| Condition: | Fair to lower quality parchment, worn and moulded at the front and especially back of the MS. Irregularities in the parchment e.g. f. 8. Stains and smudges (ff. 20v-f21r). With stitches (ff. 40, 53, f. 112, 205, 290), tears (ff. 43) and holes (f. 140). Instances in which the edge of the folios coincides with the edge of the skin (ff. 61, 73, 210, 211, 343). Text faded on some folios, e.g. ff. 49v-50r, 291v-292r. Damaged by damp e.g. ff. 7-9. Part of the outer colum of f. 239 torn. ff. 426-427 damaged in the lower corner. From f. 430 onwards, increasingly moulded in the corners. Lower margin of f. 441 cut. |
Date Information
| Date(s): | c. 1290 |
| Notes: | Date suggested by the Lancelot-Graal project, confirmed by Jonas. Arthurian Fiction gives 1280 to 1300. Illustration by the Hospitaller Master or his entourage (Jonas). The writing supports a date at the end of the 13th c. |
