Notes

General
Fragments were originally part of same bifolium; however, there was originally still some space between the two extant fragments.
Readers' annotations
Fragment contains later added annotations in the outer margin of fol. [1]v ('Lau...[xxx]...missime domine iesu'). There is another in the upper margin of fol. [1]r, which is however largely illegible due to trimming.
