Manuscript description
Digital copy consulted. Margins contain quite a few notes in different hands, both corrections and later commentary notes. Complex manuscript executed in different hands, which is possibly not in the right order and may be missing several pages. Folio’s f.84-f.183 are for example in a different hand than the preceding ones, but here and there more pages appear in the same hand as the first folio’s. Both the title page and the last folio(’s) are missing.
