  How is the rosettes fold out attached in the manuscript? Is it glued to the back of another page?

  The ROS previously had an additional attachment to q15, secured by three inserts. These are visible in the 2004 scans. The inserts are now lost (?), however; they do not appear in the 2014 scans.

  The Rose is sewn into the binding at the gutter fold between 85v1 and 86r3:
  
     
  
  A gasket protecting the outer fold of that sewing is visible between 84v and 85r1 and also between 86v3 and 87r. As Wladimir points out, there were formerly some kind of adhesive strips helping to secure the Rose in place. These have been removed (I'm not sure when, but likely during routine conservation by Yale), but remnants can still be seen in the gutter of 87r.

  Yes, thanks, I always get those wrong! I should have checked before writing.  The sewing is between 85v1 and 86r3. The numbering is really counter-intuitive! I've corrected my previous post.
