Several people who were involved with the 2009 Austrian documentary have a complete copy with all the annexes. I know at least one person at Yale (not Beinecke) who also has this, and who has already contacted the Beinecke to have them put online. That is what I hinted at in my first contribution to this thread.
I suppose it is just a matter of waiting.
With respect to the tiny 'object' in Stolfi's second picture, the white bit was looked at and Joe Barabe was not able to decide what it was, except that to him it appeared to be foreign to the MS, i.e. some unintentional external thing that ended up being attached to the MS. He did not like to speculate.
The shiny gold-like blob to me looks a bit like similar items found on other pages. I'd have to search for my notes....
These were already seen in the digital scans before, and suspected to be gold or gold paint. During the 2014 Folger workshop I asked them to look at it, and they were identified as tiny drops of gum that were spilled on the parchment. This is the gum used to make the iron-gall ink.
