Description of sequence marks

There are two contemporary paginations. Both in plumbagine and in Arabic numerals. One in the middle of the foot margin that in folio 1 has in parentheses (25) and follows from this number. The other is located in the lower left or right corners, depending on whether it is on the rectum or back of the folio. Both straight and back are paginated, perhaps due to the last restoration.
