Commentary

Remarks

The leaf has no pre-drawn lines which makes it difficult to read the more due, the more since it has eleven lines in a crammed, small script type, which is somewhat clumsy. Very remarkable is the absence of fremdzeichen and the use of 〈v〉 for 〈w〉 and 〈ṃ〉 for all kinds of nasal. Accordingly, it may be a writing exercise, which may also explain the unusual numbering and punctuation.
