prev Q prev F Folio 101 next F next Q

Folio 101 is an unusual foldout folio. Because of the fold, in the past this foldout has been split into two panels, but both recto and verso sides of the folio have a single design with text running over the fold. It will therefore not be treated as a foldout. f101r comprises the old f101r1 and f101r2, and f101v comprises the old f101v2 and f101v1. The verso side has not been photographed as a whole, but in two parts. The folio nr. is on f101v (old: f101v2).

The fragments of herbs, plants and/or roots have been numbered for (cross-)reference. The numbering is affected by the original assumption that the folio should be seen as two independent panels:

10 lines of standard text in paragraphs, of which one is centred;
18 labels of plant fragments.
