Manuscript Features

• fol. 4 has a different size

• Starting on the verso of the last folio (after a space of ca. 2 lines) there is an excerpt(?) from some medical work appended. It comprises 2 additional folios and is written by a different, perhaps, later (acc. to a rough paleographical impression) hand. The beginning of this excerpt (fol. 24v of Laṅkāvatāra) is nearly illegible, the next folios (exp. 33=34b - 35) read:

Beginning
