State of preservation
good
Condition
The Ms. reveals traces of extensive use. Many fols. are worn and stained with dirt. The black ink is partly faded (or possibly is of a different colour than the standard black?). Holes have been amended, e.g., check the viewer14 . Many fols. are held together with one stitch repairs. f. 7 was possibly added later to substitute the lost leaf. The quality and hue of the black ink differs greatly throughout the Ms.
Binding
Two wooden boards covered reddish-brown tooled leather (partly missing). Two pairs of sewing stations.
