Lettered in lower margin with six lines of Latin verse:
'Quicumque es solo studiosus nomine, specta
Hunc stultum, fraterm conspiciesque tuum.
Nil hunc oblectat, nisi vana crepundia. Quid te.
Te chartæ oblectant, alea pocla, pila.
Hæc tua quæ tractas, studiose, crepundia. Stulte!
Si sapias, libros volue reuolue tuos.'
