Are Foldouts Always Shorter to Left but Longer to Right?

[ChenZheChina]

Hi CHEN!
 Yes, there is no continuation of the leaf on the page. But this is not the main reason for the objection, since sheet 99 could be re-cropped (3-5 mm) to align the page profile.
The following arguments are  stronger. 1 / On the cutting line 99r there are no traces of crease from the manufacture of parchment. See f101v2. 2 / There are remnants of the stalk (branch), which does not correspond to 99r.
This means that there were not only pages, 99v2, 99r2, but there were also pages f101r3, f101v3, which are missing in the existing configuration of VMS.

Hi Wladimir,

I’m sorry that I could not find the image you attached in f101v1 .

Could you please mark where it is like this?

For example, I marked the whole f101v1 page.

Thanks, I see. At the end of f101v2 there is part of something, so it is possible that there were originally f101v3 and f101r3 but are now cut and lost.

I think this evidence is stronger than the one on the top-left corner of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , because this one seems to be cut. The strange thing on the top-left corner of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , though unpainted and (probably) unfinished, at least seems to be a whole thing to me.

But, just as you said, it is also possible to be re-cropped to align the page profile. There might not be a whole page out of there. May be just a small portion.

Greetings to all.
 Who can give a link to the full list of pages (with specific places on the pages) on which the Yale university carried out the restoration of the VMS?
Compare the f67v2 top left in the 2004 and 2014 scans. From scan 2004, two letters disappeared from the restoration, written in black ink, with which (it seems?) the mark “G” was also made.
The origin of the yellow “track” on the scan of 2014 (blue rectangle) is not clear.
Due to weak resolution, it is not clear whether this track is on the 2004 scan.
If this “track” existed on the original (before restoration) page, then this may be another proof that a bifolio (or pages), which are not currently in VMS, was cut off from the long clamshells.

Oops!
The Grove comment was not from the interlinear file but from the old mailing list.
I can't link to posts from there, so here's a screenshot:

Since f. 67 was not a foldout originally, the most likely original number of foldouts would be 10, right? (Not counting possible foldouts in missing pages of course.)
68
70
72
85
86
89
90
95
101
102
