More about the Current Condition

The original bifolium has been cut into two large comb fragments, subsequently taped together, and three thin strips to reinforce the spine and binding of the host manuscript. 

-

The two comb fragments, cut in such a way to fit around the sewing stations, would have been glued to the wooden boards of the binding, the traces of the adhesive still visible on their reverse. 

-

There is staining and wear and tear to the parchment, especially the section of the comb fragments once engaged with the spine, whose text is in places now unreadable. The thin strips are twisted and folded.
