"Manuscription" is a word:
and it appears twice in the chapter, so I suspect this is not a typo (although it may be confusing and unnecessary). Can someone who remembers the history of this file comment?
Definitely a typo I think

In the context, I don't see that anything else but "manuscript" is intended. If the TEI has a whole "Module for Manuscription Description", why is it not mentioned elsewhere? A locus "is used to reference a single location within a manuscription" makes some sense, I guess, but it is in any case an awfully stilted way of expression.
I agree, but I just want to make sure we don't step on the toes of a true expert for whom "manuscription" has a precise meaning that is especially apposite in this context.
I have corrected both occurrences to "manuscript". When we have "text bearing objects" or whatever we'll need to review all this vocabulary again anyway.
