Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the last folio with 649; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled and present in parallel between ff 276-649, has been superseded and therefore crossed out. The foliation sequence does not include the front and back covers. The foliation sequence contains one foliation anomaly, f 1a.
