| Condition: | Apparently good conditions. A decorated initial at f. 76r was cut off. |
Structure
| Collation: | 16? |
| Quire structure: | Part 2 occupies the last 3 ff. of the last quire of X. At f. 79vb, a later hand (possibly a 17th c. hand) wrote Fl : 11 : 6 : c, that Gabriella Pomaro and Lino Leonardi interpreted either as "quire 11 has 6 folios" or "11 quires + 6 folios", even if the first option seems more likely. Cf. Leonardi et alii, 290. |
