RISM online notes: "Pencil foliation begins from f.24v, which designates f.24v as '25l' (for left) and f. 25 as '25r' (for right, or recto), although between ff.29v-33r the left-right designation is reversed so that f.29v is designated '30r' and f.30r is '30 l'.

A folio is missing between ff. 150 and 160; and there are only 3 foliois between 53 and 60, so that the numbering is incorrect for some reason. There is some evidence of folios being removed before f.51, since there are remnants in the fold, but this would not correct the erros in foliation - as '53' should be f.55v and '60' should be f. 58v.

New pencil foliation, 1-172 (many folios lack numbers, but all folios correctly counted by enumeration, except that '57-59' and '159' are omitted). Folios 23v-24r, 50v-52r, 78v-79r, 100v-101r, 141v-142r are blank and unruled.

No decorative initials; rubrics, titles, etc. in red ink
