The catalogue entries contain a short codicological description and numerous tables detailing the manuscript's collation, foliation, text, and subject and type of illumination.
But just as the image of print on screen is only partially trustworthy, in (for example) lack of scale, lack of evidence of material vehicles (quality and colour of paper or parchment, for example), lack of that three-dimensionality that is a fundamental feature of any book, and lack of codicological context, so in practice we need both artefact and surrogate.
