Manuscript gathering
Collation: 7 (parchment): the quire structure is unusual. Folios 1 and 7, 2 and 3, 5 and 6 are conjugate, and folio 4 is a singleton. There was probably another bifolium between folio 6 and 7. Several quires missing at the beginning and the end.
Foliation: Later medieval foliation in ink in upper right corner, reflecting the former state of the manuscript (305-309, 3010, 3013). Foliation supplied by cataloger.
