Notes

• Caption title.
• Volume contains 98 f. of glazed paper of European origin measuring 198 x 137 mm. Paper bears watermarks of "main" "ancre dans un cercle", and "tête de boeuf au serpent stenroulant autour d'une croix" but none have matches in Briquet, Les filigranes. Text area measures 141-154 x 79 mm.; text written in Kırma script in two or more hands on f. 1b-95b. Catchwords included through f. 68 which appears to be a dividing line between copyists. Some pages bound out out of order; headings in red ink.
