Notes
Pages alternate in a pattern between vellum and paper.
Leather binding has significant amounts of hair, which is very unusual.
Black ink has browned. This shows the age of the ink, because old ink typically had iron in it (known as iron gall ink) and would rust over time.
Front cover is extremely rusty.
Handwritten.
