Cambridge, Cambridge University Library, MS Ee.2.15

Five quires of 16, one of 20, one of 10, one of 4 (presumed): 114 folios.

The outer and innermost sheets, bifolia 1.20 and 10.11, bifolium 8.13, and leaf 9 of quire 2 (folios 17, 24-27, 36)36 and 26.27).

None.

ML 1-35 (folio 17; there would not be sufficient space for all of L7 as well on this leaf); ML 365-588 (folios 24-27); ML 645-700 (folio 29). The bottom of 22 is lost, corresponding to the absence of ML 270-280 from the recto, ML 298-308 from the verso; a tear along the right of 23 has taken the last words of ML 330-336 (on the recto) and the first of ML 352-364 (on the verso); the bottom of 30 is lost, corresponding to the absence of ML 722-728 from the recto, ML 751-757 from the verso; the bottom of 34 is lost, corresponding to the absence of ML 946-952 from the recto, ML 975-980 from the verso. The fragment finishes with ML 1036 on 35v.

The second quire of this manuscript contains a fragmentary text of ML. The manuscript is comprised of two distinct parts, written by separate scribes. The first quire, written by the first scribe, is of sixteen folios and contains a fragment of John Mirk’s Festial. The remaining quires are all written by the same scribe, and begin with the ML fragments in the second quire.

All missing leaves have been replaced by modern paper leaves, so perfect equivalence.
