Further information

Notes: 

The dimensions given are those of a single flyleaf. As with its twin, Harsnett K.d.23 i, the whole fragment is one unbound sheet, tall in account-book style, which has been folded over so that the stub is double thickness. This explains why, while the rectos are oriented with foot to the fore-edge, the versos have their foot to the gutter, and the fold of the stub interrupts a line of text. Each page of the sheet has a single column, with a crease -- no signs of stitch-holes -- separating the two columns. See the Babel MS for dimensions of the full leaf.
