characters with ATS; big, legible, uniform and good hand-writing ; this Ms. presents an appearance of the work having been written in two separate columns; but, really speaking, it is not so; for, the lines of the first column extend to the second ; borders of each of the columns ruled in four lines in black ink; red chalk used; leaves numbered in both the margins; in the right-hand one as 8, 4, 6 etc. and in the left-hand one as us, & etc.; the first two leaves missing; the leaf placed before the fourth is taken here to be the third; but since the marginal portions etc. are worn out, it is difficult to ascertain its real number ; almost half the part of several leaves worn out; condition unsatisfactory ; leaf 2596 blank ; leaves : 276 and 128a illegible, ink having faded; an extra blank leaf at the end; a hole almost in the centre of each leaf through which a red string passes ; leaves are placed between two wooden boards.
