    In good condition except for some minor water damage and soiling on the first few leaves. Few corrections, possibly by the scribe themself; few marginal annotations in Latin and Greek, including symbols such as brackets and Nota Bene, by a contemporary hand who also filled in some of the spaces that were left blank in the text either for words in Greek or for rubrication.
