[This is what many of the images of the papers look like. Why? Because they were bound like a book. Binding is both a blessing and a curse. Because they were bound, they are for the most part intact and complete, but on the other hand because they are bound, the side that is sewn will usually get cut off when taking a picture of the page. The binding in the image below is on the left-hand side. (Click on the image for a closer view.)

There can be no searching done when you can’t even make out the words. And as a result, a lot of knowledge is not accessible!]
