Notes on the numerical tables of Table arithmétique (Fragment), Latin 9377, f. 113[1] in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris).
Left side of Latin 9377 f.113
Right side of Latin 9377 f.113
Description of Fragment
The fragment consists of a single sheet of parchment, folded in half, with numerical tables written on both the left and right sides of the inside (flesh-side) of the parchment.
A fascimile of the pages can be viewed at [1]:
outside (reverse of left side)
outside (reverse of right side)
On the left side are 2 columns, each with 3 tables (and each with a cut off table at the bottom. On the right side are 2 columns each with 1 continuous table.
