Note:

Manuscript note: The volume was formerly a ledger in the vast sixteenth-century archives of the Medici family of Florence and it is a fine example of what are known as ‘account-book’ bindings; evidently only a few dozen pages were actually used, and these have now been removed.
Flyleaves: Pecia note: correctus: hic finit lxxix pecia ‘checked: here ends pecia 79’.
Flyleaves: Latin.
ff. 1-150: Blank pages, a few dozen pages removed.
ff. 1-150: Latin.
Flyleaves: Book V, 14: 1-ix, Lectura; By lucky chance they include a pecia note, correctus: hic finit lxxix pecia ‘checked: here ends pecia 79’.
Explicit, Flyleaves: Legem quam dixisti . . .: ista est lex secunda de pactis.
