Manuscript name and Mosser link

University of Chicago Library, Department of Special Collections, MS 564. Mosser: Mc.

Original construction

32 quires of 8: 256 folios, plus fly-leaves.

Missing folios

The first eight quires are lost, and hence our numbering begins on folio 65. Following usual practice, this numbering excludes the two flyleaves at the beginning (i-ii) and the single fly-leaf at the end.

Added folios

None.

Absent text corresponding to the missing folios

GP, KT, L1, MI and the first four lines of RE (folios 1-64): around 3860 lines in total, around 30 lines per page.

Notes

The text breaks off, on 256v, at CY 338a. The four lines added at the end of CO on 74v, unique to this MS, are numbered 58-1 to 58-4. The placement of the whole WBP-SU sequence, between MO and L30, is remarkable.

Concordance of the traditional foliation (as reported by Mosser) and the new foliation

Traditional (Mosser)	New CT foliation
3-186	65-248
186 (repeated)	249
187-188	250-251
190 -194	252 - 256

PROBLEM with Mosser numbering: he gives quires 9-32, 24 quires of 8 (192 folios) as "3-195". This is 193 folios, not 192. Is his final folio, 195, the final flyleaf?
