Recipe Details
Evidence
"Although the condition of the manuscript is generally well, three main issues have been identified as hazardous... the tight binding that affects the overall physique of the volume... charring of the borderlines... [and] careless restoration."
Remarks
The manuscript consists of 340 folios (p. 63). While the general condition is described as 'well', the paper fabric is compromised in three ways: mechanical stress from a 'tight binding' causing issues at the spine (p. 59, 64), chemical corrosion and charring at the text borders (p. 59), and penetration of moisture/pigment from restoration paints causing 'brownish stains' (p. 60).
