Worming in volume I, affecting preliminary leaves 1 to lxiii, from the inner margin toward the text with some loss of letters, and a wormhole running through. One gallery to the lower board of volume I. In volume III, two wormholes from the beginning to p. 180, then a diminishing gallery up to p. 267. A clean and well-preserved set overall, though the paper in volume II is slightly toned.
