        A mail from the restoration laboratory of the NLI is attached. It is dated 3.12.2003 and talks about the quire of fols. 347-356 that should be between the folios 320 and 321 (today it is bound in the right order with the old foliation: after 320 appear 347 to 356 and then comes 321) and about fol. 257 that is missing (indeed fol. 258 comes after 286).
        At the end a few pages are attached (among them of the first folio) copied from another copy of this edition .
