| Condition: | The MS is in good condition but is fragmentary: the absence of the rubricated heading and chapter numbering for Thebes [f. 2r] indicates that the original start of the manuscript is missing. In addition the first rubricated chapter is numbered 295, and therefore also suggests that folios have been lost. The MS ends abruptly, part-way through Rome II [f. 160v]. The final catch-word indicates that the first words of the missing end folios are '-tree qu(an)t a ??...??e sorent'. Many of the miniatures are incomplete. |
