Additions:
The Latin phrase ‘ad Apostolo’ has been underlined on f.1v. There are two minor corrections to f.2r: omitted text has been added superscript on l.5, and corrected text has been written over the top of incorrect text on the antepenultimate line. Pencil notes have been added in a second, unknown hand to f 2.v. One set of these appears to be an address: ‘Mr Chambert / Chez Mr. Chauve Pr / rue du Paog rins vis / L’hotel du Tours’. The others are too faint to be legible.
