The notes appear to be in two hands, one contemporary in the same or similar ink to Chripstoph Binder's signature to the title and the other a little later. Title page printer's device with early coloring. Neat marginal notes and underlining throughout, heavier early on and at the end, neat interlinear notes and notes to the Erasmus letter. Many of the later notes written in triangular format. Scattered stains, tiny wormtrails, heavier early on, some marginal dampstaining at beginning and end. A nice copy. Separate title page for the Chronologia.
