London, British Library Royal MS 18.c.ii. Mosser: Ry2.

32 quires of 8 (256 folios), a quire of 14 (the 30th) and a final quire of four: 274 folios.

The final three folios of quire 30, folios 244-246, are missing, as may also be the last folio of the last quire, folio 274, if this is not a pastedown.

There is no text missing following 243v (the thirteenth leaf of quire 30), and there is a catchword on the base of this page, suggesting that the three pages were removed (leaving stubs) before the copying of the manuscript. We retain these three pages in the foliation, to indicated the irregularity at this point.

CT begins on the first leaf of the first folio and continues through to the end of the manuscript. The manuscript is now preceded by two leaves containing 15th century materials: these leaves are included in the traditional foliation. The two inner bifolia (3.6 and 4.5) in the ninth quire, folios 67/70 (=3.6) and 68/69 (=4.5) have been transposed, so that the order of leaves in this quire is 65 66 68 67 70 69 71 72.
