No, Christie's didn't photograph the MS for their catalogue, or the
website, presumably because they really did think it wasn't that interesting.
As far as I can tell, though perhaps others know otherwise, Christie's
doesn't publish lists of purchasers, and will only release names with
permission. An enquiry to Christie's might be passed on to the purchaser I
suppose. I may try that in due course if we don't hear who bought it.
