Foliation: the foliation system in use runs from the front cover to the back cover. The sequence appears written in pencil, enclosed in a circle, in the top right hand corner of the recto The front of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'r'. page of each folio. Folio 42 needs to be folded out to be read. The following foliation anomalies occur: folio 1 is followed by folios 1A, 1B and 1C; folio 18 is followed by 18A; folio 70 is followed by 70A; folio 87 is followed by 87A; folio 100 is followed by folio 110, with the intervening folio numbers omitted. A second foliation sequence appears, also written in pencil, but not enclosed in a circle, in the same area of many of the folios. This sequence is not wholly consistent.
