(Q1765)
Statements

Manuscript note: The binding is quite possibly a remboitage, since the leaves were trimmed certainly at least on the fore edge to make them small enough to fit the binding; where there was already additional text in the margins that would have been guillotined in the trimming, the solution was to leave large tabs containing the marginal texts, and to fold these tabs inwards, so that the fore...
