A second hand has endorsed the MS as ‘No.34*’ in the upper left-hand corner of p.77. The same hand has also added a bibliographical reference to the bottom of p.77. The first 12 lines of p.77 and the final 12 lines of p.78 have been crossed out. The final two words of l.13 on p.77 and the name on l.6 of p.78 have been underlined. A third hand has added a provenance note to the bottom of p.77 suggesting that the copy is in the hand of a copyist of M. Suard.
