Numerous RVF poems are accompanied with Latin annotations by the same hand that transcribed the main text. More concise annotations, mostly in interlinear position, either provide variant readings or a Latin translation of some vernacular words (fol. 68v: ‘rea: culpabilis’). Longer and less numerous annotations illustrate potentially obscure passages, demonstrating a serious interest in astronomical and broadly philosophical matters (such as the emergence or manifestation of feelings: next to the lines of RVF 206, at fol. 81r, the annotator observes: ‘chi deuendolanguir etc. Jdest qui debj mori languendo, prius moriatur absque illo languore. uel sic, fubaudi xbim tacitus, et qui debet uiuere languendo, prius moriatur’).
 
At fol. 62r-62v RVF 137 and 138 have been crossed out by pen but are still legible.
 
Fols. 1 and 158 are not authentic: as with the title page, they have been added to the ms. at a later stage and reproduce the missing lines in a handwriting that imitates the original one.
