Condition
The original boards are missing. The broken back board originates from a different codex. The Ms. was crudely resewn, with the sewing stations used incorrectly. Many fols. are missing. The first folio is strongly discoloured. Detached leaves (check the viewer34-39 ) were collected and sewn together at the end of the text block. The Ms. is badly affected by humidity, the ink is faded or smeared on most of the fols.
Binding
Two wooden boards (?, back board reused). Two pairs of sewing stations.
