Marginal annotations, mostly in contemporary hands in black ink. On [*1r] in a contemporary hand, in black ink, notes for use by priests, including questions for those to be baptized. In lower margin of vv1r a report of the finding of Christ's tunic at Trier in 1513: ‘O Bernardine diue, Iam de anno domini m ccccc xiii | adinuenta est, deo volente, tunica illa inconsutil[is] Christi | vera, Treueris que est vetustissima ciuitas'; this is listed in an inventory of the relics preserved at Trier, which was printed perhaps at Augsburg in c.1515 (the Bodleian copy is pasted on to the inside of the upper cover of Auct. 6Q inf. 2.3, Vincentius Bellovacensis, Speculum historiale. [Augsburg: Monastery of SS. Ulrich and Afra], 1474 (V‑134)); according to this inventory, the tunic was brought back to Trier from the Holy Land by S. Helena (c.255–c.330); relocated by Archbishop Johann I of Trier (1190-1212, Gams 318) in 1196; the inventory dates the rediscovery of the tunic to 1512, during the archiepiscopate of Richard von Greiffenklau (1511-31, Gams 318); on the tunic and its history see J. Gildemeister and H. von Sybel, Der heilige Rock zu Trier und die zwanzig andern heiligen ungenähten Röcke (Düsseldorf, 1845). In lower margin of xx6r: ‘Prima[m] parte[m] artic[uli] iam habui 1729', of yy4r: ‘hunc ar[ticulum] i[am] habui 1730', and of ss3r: ‘Arti[culum] i[am] habui 1731'.
