Description
Quire 14 contains one sheet of a non-standard size.
It is the only sheet which has a horizontal foldout
crease. Beside that it also has two vertical creases, so
each side of the vellum is divided into 6
panels: 3 above the horizontal crease and 3 below.
Each panel has the same size as a normal 'page'.
The sheet has been bound into the MS at the vertical
folding crease in the lower half of the sheet, leaving
one panel to the left of the binding and two to the right.
By convention, the part left of the bind is called
f85 and the part to the right is called f86.
When the sheet is folded out, a single, complicated drawing
is visible, which covers six panels and is usually referred
to as the Rosettes page.
The numbering of the 6 pages occupied by this
drawing is indicated here ((b) indicating the binding):
| 85v2 |
|
86r4 |
|
86r6 |
|
| 85v1 |
(b) |
86r3 |
|
86r5 |
|
The crease separating f86r3 from f86r5 is disintegrating.
On the opposite
side (which one cannot actually see complete on one unfolding, because the rest
of the book gets in the way) one has:
| 86v6 |
|
86v4 |
|
85r2 |
|
| 86v5 |
|
86v3 |
(b) |
85r1 |
|
The gathering mark is on f86v3.
