<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>The pages have been remargined and there are no catchwords.</p><p>There are rubrics on almost every page, sometimes two. This topic would be worth investigating fully for the analysis of any stories of interest.</p><p>The story of Bizhan and Manizha starts on fol. 212r, and ends on f. 227r, followed by the Davazdah Rukh. It does not contain the Barkhiyas interpolation and is not illustrated. The story of Davazdah Rukh is not fully illustrated, as for the combats, and there seems to be some disorder in the folios - the first heading (f. 246r ) concerns the fight of Gudarz and Piran, which is actually the final combat.</p><p>The manuscript was restored and digitized in 2016, see:</p><p>http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/~db/ausgaben/thumbnailseite.html?fip=193.174.98.30&id=00106323&seite=1</p><p>Thanks to Dr Helga Rebhan for this information.</p></p>
