Marginal annotations either report variant readings, or indicate names of historical and mythological figures, or explain some obscure passages; these notes mostly appear alongside the text of Triumphus Amoris I, Amoris III, Triumphus Pudicitie.
Decorated initial for each Triumphus; some maniculae.
A few lines from Triumphus Temporis and from Triumphus Eternitatis are missing presumably due to the loss of a fol. between fols. 36 and 37.
