[Part 2]
General information
| Folios | 2 |
| Folio notes: | Folio 117 is the additional folio which Jung notes was 'later' added to the middle of the fifteenth quaternion; Jung gives no further precision as to when this might have been (1996, 226). Christine Ruby notes, however, that the hand in which f. 117 (and 16 lines of f. 116v) are written is 'sensiblement contemporaine' with the hand in which the rest of the text is written (Careri et al. 2001, 7). |
