I noticed these holes on the right margin of f1r.

There seems to be some mechanical wear like a thread was run through this. Several other folios have a corresponding hole in the top right , but notably, f5, and f8 do not. f115 seems to have a corresponding hole, (the dark spot above it on the previous page is just ink, not a hole), and the suspicious stiching nearby makes me wonder if mechanical tension caused the page to tear.

Is this some kind of binding technique? Or maybe a some kind of bug?

The only two others i could find were on f102, where the dark spot seems suspicious, like maybe it was originally bound on this side at one point? There is clear mechanical wear from a string on these as well.
