A separate bifolium has been cropped before the current first quire.
Fol. 8 is a singleton. Fols. 40–46 seem to have been added on later. They are
formed of three bifolia and an added leaf (fol. 45), which were added to the
quire ranging from fol. 38 to fol. 48. They are written by a younger hand, the
parchment is noticeably less stained than elsewhere in the manuscript, and they
contain a paper bifolium (fols. 41 and 44). Fol. 45 is a singleton originally
pasted to fol. 44, now almost completely loose. Fol. 60 is also a later
replacement pasted to a stub. One (apparently empty) leaf has been cropped after
fol. 73. Fols. 117–120 are a later addition of
