The two leaves were repurposed as pastedowns at the front and rear of the host volume. The traces of the dark brown leather turn-ins from the binding indicate that the verso of leaf 1 and the recto of leaf 2 (according to the present lableling system) faced outwards.

There is staining and fading to the parchment and evidence of water damage on leaf 2. The text on the side pasted onto the wooded boards is in better condition.
