Per gressus opera—sic ergo patet quod divisio totius libri est in libros quatuor partiales. Doucet, no. 1200a.

221 and 221v have early notes, among them (a) Regula Septuagesime: the calendar-verses A festo stelle numerando perfice lunam . . ., with comments; (b) a couplet on the removal of stains: Stillam laves pluvia oleum liquore fabarum / incaustum vino laxiva dilue vinum; (c) note on the four Modi exponendi sacram scripturam etc.
