Evidence

"Since the majority of the preserved manuscripts are late productions, they have mostly been written on European paper. Their size range is 180–220 mm × 120–170 mm, and judging by the position of the laid and chain lines, they are mostly in quarto."

Remarks

The manuscripts are identified as late productions. The European paper typically measures between 180-220 mm in height and 120-170 mm in width (p. 106). The quarto format is deduced from the orientation of the chain and laid lines (p. 106).
