Some marginal notes, mainly noticing whether the office has to be performed with or without the mitre, in Marsuppini's hand. Some extra notation has been added in the margin on [l1r]. Some marginal notes, in correspondence with the consecration of the Virgin, have been added in a contemporary humanist hand; they include the following prayer on [l6v]: ‘[Benedictio velorum] Accipe vestem hanc in nomine domini quam preferas ante tribunal domini nostri Ihesu Chrysti Cui flectitur omne genu celestium terrestrium et infernorum qui cum deo patre et spiritu sancto uiuit et regnat deus per omnia secula seculorum'. Modern manuscript foliation 1-297 in the upper right-hand corner of the rectos in brown ink.
On [a1r] a historiated initial ‘P' is supplied in blue with foliate decoration in green and purple within a gold ground edged in black; the area defined by the letter is decorated with the image of a bishop. On the same leaf a three-quarter border is made of a green branch with purple and blue flowers, and with gold dots (Florentine style); see Pächt and Alexander II, 109 no. pr. 53 (Florence or Rome?). Other principal initials are also supplied in gold and colours, others in red or blue with purple or red pen-work decoration.
