    Extant second folio bears the contemporary folio number 11. This was probably f. 11 of the first quire, presumably a quire of six bifolia. The conjoint of f. 11 (i.e., the extant first folio) would thus have been f. 2 of the manuscript. The remaining two quires are numbered f. 21-36, and the extant back cover is numbered f. 37. Thus one quire of 4 bifolia (8 f.) is missing, in addition to 10...

    First fragment is a single bifolium; its first folio (f. 2 of the manuscript) is torn in half vertically. The second and third fragments are quires. Original cover was limp vellum; only the back is extant (= f. 37). All the fragments are wrapped in two 19th-century paper leaves.
