Signatures: *² **⁴ ***² A-3X⁴ 3Y². Gatherings * and *** were printed as if they were one gathering, with the leaves in the following order: *1, *2, ***1, ***2. Leaf *1 is conjunct with leaf ***2, and leaf *2 is conjunct with leaf ***1. It is clear from the text and the catchwords that these conjunct leaves were intended to be split, with *1-*2 bound before gathering **, and ***1-***2 bound following gathering **.
