The chapter of the fourth age of the Indians, Auca Runa, shows a typical China paper application over a tear in the manuscript page. The Paris facsimile reveals that the China paper application did not jeopardize the legibility of the text or necessitate an overall retouching (actual page 68; Guaman Poma 1936, 68).
