Marginal annotations in several fifteenth/sixteenth-century and sixteenth-century hands, including comments on the text, extraction of key words, ‘nota' marks, pointing hands, and line numbers, also underlining in the text in black ink, and in red crayon. Apparently by some of the same hands as annotated the other items, thus suggesting that all 3 items have travelled together since soon after they were printed.
