Description

Leaves of folios very thin and not at all stiff. In many places they are stuck together in such a way that they cannot be separated without destroying the folios. In a number of cases entire folios are stuck together. The edges on the right and left side of all folios are frayed, and in many cases the fiber of the leaf gives the folios a tassled appearance. The edges of the folios have red coloring applied to them.
