handwritingHandwriting is small, but clear and legible.
paperVery small sheets folded and sewn together into a booklet are in good condition, with minimal staining and wear.
inkBrown ink varies in intensity over the course of the manuscript.
noteworthyAt the top of one recto, an editor, likely 19th-century, has added the note " '766 Ser. at Mr. Olding's." This note has not been transcribed. The top of the last page is uncut, and so there are no images for five verso and six recto. On six verso, there is a recipe, likely for an herbal remedy, in Occom's hand.
