More about the Current Condition

All six fragments are in poor condition, with signs of water damage, mold stains and rot. One fragment bears the (partial, reversed) imprint of text from another leaf. One has no remaining legible (to the naked eye) text apart from the (partial, reversed) imprint of a couple of initials and a paraph sign in blue ink. These two fragments, on thicker parchment of lesser quality, were probably not originally part of the manuscript from which the other leaves came.
