Quire Structure Collation

Quire descriptions: protection sheet and quires 1 and 4 balanced; quire 2 adjusted balanced; quire 3 unbalanced. Fols 24–58 have been assembled in no discernable quire pattern utilizing various stab stitches. This makes an accurate map of the codex impossible to determine. Fols. 5, 12 are stitched onto the same vellum strap wrapped around the spine of the quire. Unbalanced quire (Quire 3) has been repaired.
