More about the Current 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. 77 in this manuscript. However, the manuscript was foliated again after this leaf was detached, making this page stuck between what is now fol. 74 and 75.

Similarlly, Leuven, Archief van de Abdij van Park, IIB3h.1c/2 (F-0lef) and IIB3h.1c/4 (F-mf17) are fragment from the same manuscript as well.
