A pencil note inside the upper cover refers to MS. Lat. liturg. f. 123 for former pastedowns; this cannot be verified, and appears to be an incorrect shelfmark (Sheppard).
Some early running chapter headings and book numbers in brown ink. A piece of paper, loosely inserted between [et]8 and [et]9, contains notes in German in an eighteenth-century hand.
