Quote:Were the numbers added to a bound codex, or to a loose pile of leaves? That second option doesn't seem sensible for several reasons, for example the above-mentioned point that the numbers were added on the foldouts when they were folded in.The page numbers could have been added to a loose pile of leaves ready for second binding in order to keep them ordered?

I'm not sure if many people are aware that there is an Italian who claims to have one page of these copies:

My first reaction was, that this handwriting does not look like that of Baresch at all, but that may not be an issue since Baresch also seems to write that he had the copies made by someone else.
In any case, Fabrizio Salani had the pigments of this page tested forensically, and the official estimate was the first decades of the 20th Century (which is weird in itself).

He bought the sheet at a second hand book market, and must have spent some money to
do the forensic tests. Where it came from remains a mystery, and the different root
makes no sense at all....
