On the first blank leaf an inscription beginning 'Iste liber est' has been oblitereated in ink. On the last leaf verso are two inscriptions by a contemporary hand, both struck through, and one partly illegible owing to damage to the paper. The first of these mentions a 'magister Concoregio to whom it was sold or possibly pledged: the second reads: 'Librum de magistri Johannis de / dimisit michi pro xxii z [?]' (The remainder is illegible.) Below these by another contemporary hand: 'Iste liber est magistri pauli de zigalinis phisici'.
