    Foliation: Leaves were numbered by a slightly more recent hand. The fact that the first folio is numbered 29 indicates that the first 28 leaves are missing. Between ff. 154 and 155 (numbered 186 and 189), two leaves are missing. Between ff. 100 and 101 4 leaves had already been cut out prior to the time of the foliation. Likewise, the ms. is incomplete at the end.
