Other notes:
The condition of the manuscript is rather bad. Some pages have holes in them, especially the last two pages 3r up to 4v. The ink is fading. The manuscript used to have a binding since some threads are still present. All the pages have become loose, the covers are missing. The manuscript is incomplete and only 8 folios remain: 10, 11, 14, 21, 31, 61, 91, and the last unnumbered page.
