Shelfmark:	fonds français 1375
MS Part Title:	[MSPART1]
Ms Part Folios:	554 folios
Page layout:

MS Part Material:	Material object (1)
Watermark:	None visible
Condition:	From what it is possible to see from the digitisation, the manuscript is generally in good condition (no holes, tears, very little evidence of smudging/ water damage. The very mild water damage on 512r occurred at the time of writing - the original scribe has corrected the damaged text). Ink often shows through from one side of a folio to the other in a fashion that can be severe and can impede legibility (though this effect may of course be the result of the scanning process).

Level of Execution:	Execution object (5)
