More about the Condition

The original height is estimated with the procedure of J.P. Gumbert’s statistical research on page dimensions of manuscripts. He has shown that the ratio of height to width generally lies between 0.60 and 0.80. The estimated minimum height is 477 mm.

Current Condition

More about the Current Condition

The reuse of the fragment as frisket sheet has led to a text in red ink printed on one side of the parchment and cut-away holes for the parts of the text to be printed in red. The printed text is perpendicular to the earlier layer of writing. Water damage has led to the parchment  having shrunk on one side.
