Manuscript Features
The foliation in the middle of the right margin seems to be original one. It starts anew with the third text. Above that another foliation has been applied, which runs through the whole manuscript continiously. This as been followed here. Also with the third text a fourth foliation begins, which follows the letter-foliation in the left margin.
Missing folios No. 15 and 21. Fol. 30 has been replaced by a paper folio. On a few folios the script has been rubbed off, some are broken at the edges.
