Manuscript Features
Writing is faded in places, particularly on the first folio. The original folios 121ff have been replaced with folios taken from another manuscript. The present 121-130 show a foliation in the left margin which looks like added by yet another, later hand. At the end a few heavily damaged leaves are found, including the original 121.
