The folio numbering is certainly correct.
When I visited the Beinecke in 1999 I double-checked the information from Jim with the original.
The only confusing point is the direction of some of the folds, and definitely these have changed
over the years.
When the Yale photo facsimile was prepared, the foliation, including the direction of the folds, was again
reviewed, and I adapted my drawings to be compatible with the facsimile, which should be considered
authoritative. They definitely used the original to finalise the drawings in the book.
