Manuscript Features

Fol. 33 was missing in the original manuscript. But somebody in a different hand supplied it later. While supplying a new folio, the foliation of the text interrupted. He/she assigned the fol. 34 twice. Furthermore, fols. 48 and 49 also seem to be supplied later. So, he/she has assigned fol. 48 and 49 twice as well.

After the fol. 77, the foliation runs as 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 and so forth. But the text is not repeated.

There are two exposures of fols. 7v–8r.
