Description: Upper endpapers contain manuscript notes in several hands: one is a neat 16th-century Italic hand, which draws a calligraphic doodle beside quotations or aphorisms in French, Latin, and English, and signs in a secretary script "per me [...] Fylden[?]" but is perhaps not the same elegant Italic hand that writes on the verso of the same leaf in light brown ink; another is a larger messy hand, in dark ink, that writes in French and Latin; copious later annotations in a small hand (John Smith?), in English and Latin (also on lower endpaper).
Inscription on upper endpaper, in a 16th/17th-century hand: "Rogerius Norton", repeated variously.
Inscriptions on upper endpaper, with various odd names followed by "Basso" or "Baffo".
