Foliation: The ms. is foliated by G. Jarring.

Provenance: Bought from Rev. David Gustafsson who acquired the ms. in Yarkand in the 1920's. To the manuscript's Yarkand origin points also notes in the margin of ff. 133b, 134b and 256b where an in Russian untrained hand has written a name ... and ... (the town of Kokaseq is also mentioned). On f. 358 an enigmatic note in faulty spelling, which would indicate some connection of the manuscript with Khotan.
