Summary

The original position of the fragments is difficult to ascertain. Before fol. 145 there is a thin long strip visible that has been folded lengthwise, but which has a taller part towards the lower edge of the manuscript. This strip is now not folded around the last quire but that may have been originally its position. There is also a second fragment after fol. 152, of which only a very small strip is visible. It looks like it has been folded around the final quire and glued to it to keep it in place. An 18th-century paper flyleaf has been glued against the quire guard, probably covering about 12 mm of the parchment.
