Manuscript Features
This MS, which has been microfilmed on two consecutive reels (A 46/12 and A 47/1), seems to consist of 182 folios, that is, out of 187 folios five folios are missing, to wit fols. 24-25; 40; 65; and 70. However, some of the available folios, viz. fols. 101-123, have not been microfilmed. Thus, reel A 46/12 ends with fol. 100, the remaining takes showing again fols. 86-99 in reversed order. Reel A 47/1 shows fols. 124-187. Two folios have been numbered “165” and “176” respectively. In the end, there are five more folios, which seem not to belong to this MS. Two of those are numbered, viz. “160” and “169”, three more are without a foliation.
The writing of most folios has faded out considerably, which makes for difficult reading in many places.
