Inscriptions and marks:
"11" written in red ink between the two columns at the top of fol. 2r.
Two marginal annotations on fol. 2v refer to the Gospel readings.
On the same page - between the two columns - there is an unreadable annotation written by a modern hand, probably in Portuguese.
At the bottom of fol. 7 v there are some annotations written reversed with respect to the text. These annotations provide information on the provenance of the fragment "Amares e Besteiros" (the two cities are located ca 15 km north-east of Braga).
A more modern hand added "240 n° 11" in blue ink on the same page.
Remarks:
P. Avelino de Jesus da Costa referes to this fragment as: "Caixa 240, 21 – Número 11 – Tombo de Salvador de Amares e de S. Paio de Besteiros, 1549".
