Composition des cahiers:
Contemporary quire signatures, possibly in the hand of one of the two main scribes, are visible from p. 148 ('I') to p. 276 ('VIIII'); the remains of a different run of signatures are visible on p. 90 ('VI') and p. 122 ('VIII'); the quires are generally quaterniones, but pp. 123-134 appear to be a ternio (Bruckner indicates that pp. 121-134 is a quinio, which is almost certainly an error). [This foliation based on Bruckner, supplemented by examination of the page-images.]
