Thanks Jim,
I thought that this may have been noted before, but could not remember by 
whom.
Actually perhaps the "loss" of the pages may have occurred earlier, since 
Newbold claimed his solution in 1921. I wonder if the content of the ms as it 
appears in his book was collected at about that time.
I wonder if D'Imperio mentions when the photostats taken to Hyvernat were 
taken. I seem to recall some comments by Mrs. V regarding the number of 
copies that were produced.
Anyway, it is interesting to think what may have happened with those missing 
folios!

Cheers,

Gabriel
