More about the Condition

Fragment is a detached leaf from from an otherwise preserved manuscript (Leuven, Archief van de Abdij van Park, ID3.27). Originally, the fragment was fol. 52 in this manuscript. The manuscript was foliated again after this leaf was detached. It now fits between the current fol. 51 and 52. Remains of this fragment's border decoration in inner margin are still visible between these leaves. Leuven, Archief van de Abdij van Park, IIB3h.1c/2 (F-0lef) and IIB3h.1c/3 (F-xf4y) are two further fragments from the same manuscript.
