History

Remarks

What is perhaps a shelfmark of the host volume appears on verso: 3/Dupont/3(?)

Host Volume

Remarks

Due to the offsets that are evident on the verso, the host volume's binding evidently contained resued material, perhaps manuscript, that included decorative elements supplied in blue.
