| Condition: | Rather thick and rigid vellum, worn in several places. There are sewn tears (e.g. ff. 48, 100, 103, etc.), and holes within the writing space avoided by the scribe (e.g. ff. 49ra and 49vb) as well as outside the writing space (e.g. one at f. 59 and two at f. 99). The lower outer corner is missing from the final four folios, and the third and fourth from the end have been trimmed along a curve, cutting off a portion of column b of the recto and a of the verso. |
