Occasional annotations by the same hand recording variant readings introduced by Latin ‘at’.
 
At the bottom of fol. 9r is the coat of arms of the Strozzi family. Decorated initial in gold for RVF 1 (fol. 9r).
 
At initial fols. IIIr and 9r, a later hand acknowledges that this ms. was donated by someone from the Deti family to Filippo Pandolfini: ‘DETI: donò a filippo Pandolfini’.
