| Condition: | Fair quality parchment with some holes and few stitches (e.g. f. 410). Occasionally holes occur also in the writing space. Some holes (insects) in the first and final leaves. The edges of the skin sometimes coincide with the edges of the folio (e.g. ff. 426, 427). The upper corners of ff. 90 and 91 are ratty. Folio 628 has been mutilated. The larger part of the b-column has been torn. Since the copy ends in the a-column, no text has been lost. Ink on the recto of the first folio has faded. |
