Note:

A single folio has been excised between fols. 9 and 10, but the text and original foliation are continuous so this does not appear to be later damage
Fols. 3r-4v and 25r-26r contain paper strips with responses tipped in over the original text, perhaps to adapt the manuscript for the liturgical needs of a particular church
Evidence of early damage and repairs to parchment
Fols. 45 and 130 severely trimmed
Occasional fragmentary remains of paper tabs, presumably markers of important texts
The text has been annotated and corrected in a number of near-contemporary and later hands
