Bracciolini’s commentary is accompanied by marginal annotations in the same hand that transcribed the text. These annotations either provide references to historical events and summaries of the content of the commentary or copy the names of the historical and mythological figures mentioned in the text.
Fol. 1 has a decorated initial in gold and a decorated border; at the bottom of the fol. is an unfinished coat of arms in a green wreath.
