Vita S. Martini - page order on the verso

The image below indicates the page-order arrangement of the text of Vita S. Martini on the verso of the Plan.

Before inscription the Plan had been compactly folded (as depicted here). Two aspects of that folding are: the space with no writing functions as the front and back cover, and the inscriptions of certain pages appear upside down on the flat Plan (indicated in the image below by the orientation of the overlaid numbers) while they appear in normal reading orientation in the folded Plan.
