Footnotes
This six-leaf gathering was either a binding error or the result of one sheet coming loose from the binding before the book was inscribed, as the book’s inscription and pagination runs through this gathering without skipping any text or page numbers.
The journal entries are inscribed on pages 26, 31, 33, 36, 39, 43, 44, 48, 56–61, 66–67, 88–95, 122–135, and 164–215.
