Cover: saec. XIX. This MS was previously cited as '24.6.3'</p> <p> Watermark: two columns close together, the left one overlaid by a large letter S, the right one overlaid by an inverted S (first part, best fol. 64 and 142) - as in Adv.MSS.25.4.1 and 34.2.2; jug, large, with letters G and beneath AB, lid probably with skittles and with balls on top of them, above the middle a four-petaled blossom and a lying half moon, weak (second part, best in fol. 207).</p> <p> Foliation: old foliation in ink, and modern foliation in pencil. The old foliation in ink skips numbers 57-59 and 233, by error. The modern numbering in pencil is thus lower, from fol. 57 onward.</p> <p> Handwriting: younger than in MS 24.6.3b. Nevertheless the present MS was not copied from 24.6.3b but from another model - as shown above in the analysis of MS 24.6.3b
