Red capitals and red eight-point stars mark syntactical units. Stars are stamped not drawn.

History

Remarks

A loose leaf of paper at front of host volume (c17?) suggests early Italian ownership of the volume (and thus perhaps the place of origin for the binding fragment). Paper records accounts and names in Italian.
