Written in a small, Jacobean secretary hand. The Latin passages are written in an italic hand. There are minimal corrections. The anonymous reader/scribe has also included notes taken from the dedicatory epistle, such as the quotations from Bernard of Clairvaux (?) and Basil of Caesarea. For the most part, the page numbers from the printed edition are listed in the margins, and some of the printed marginal annotations have also been included. The reader seems to be particularly interested in Bagnall’s citations of the Church Fathers. At the beginning, a page of the printed text can be condensed and summarised in one or two sentences; however, the notes become more detailed as the scribe moves through the text. The margins have been ruled with red ink.
