Folio 72

Three-way foldout folio:

Recto:	(bind)		f72r1		f72r2		f72r3
Verso:	f72v3		f72v2		f72v1		(bind)

The third panel (f72r3 and f72v3) have been heavily curled and was squeezed inside the MS for many years. When the digital colour scans were made, these could not be completely unfolded, and a colour scan of f72r3, with the zodiac illustration of Cancel, was not made.

In the 2009 restoration, these pages were flattened, but no new scans have been made so far. Below, some B/W copies of earlier photographs are included.
