More about the Condition

Line height is 4.2-4.3 mm. The front pastedown has an incomplete column; given the amount of text required to finish the lines, however, it is highly likely that the two columns are of different width; i.e., the column on the front pastedown (the gutter column)  could have been about 20mm narrower than the complete (outer) column on the back pastedown.

Current Condition

Dimensions 303 x 83 mm and 303 x 134 mm
More about the Current Condition

A fifteenth-century Hymnary was pasted to the boards and behind the spine (to be added to Fragmentarium soon)  ; two pieces of a Physics commentary were glued to the outer parts of the board. On the basis of the lemmata from Aristotle and the wear of the page corners, it is likely that the two fragments are form the same leaf, and the visible text on the front pastedown corresponds to the left part of the recto, and the back pastedown carries the right part of the verso.
