Project Notes
AF has altered all the folio numbers - on what basis? Is there a more accurate list? Did AF actually see this ms, which is currently (Autumn 2008) in Australia.

NB dimensions need to be checked - sometimes entered as centimetres not millimetres (i.e. 10 should be 100).

Still need image of a sample page and the colophon.
