Frequent; also many references to print sources.

Bound in plain vellum which is somewhat worn and discoloured.

Two consecutive hands. The second hand's section is much longer and more coherent.

Compiler changes about 30 pages in.

Short later poems (epigrams especially) written by the second compiler into the spaces at the bottoms of pages initially filled by the first compiler.

First half contains elaborate footnotes. 

Sometimes larger/special lettering for titles (e.g. p. 59).

Freehand horizontal lines at ends of poems that end in mid-page, but otherwise quite plain layout.

Generally only one side of the page used up to p. 38.

Paginated (by the compiler on the verso side, but numbered in folios by a cataloguer on the rectos. Compiler’s pagination jumps from 197 to 200).

Plenty of white space.

Yes; includes both parts of the volume so created by the second compiler.
