Fol. Ar: library sticker at the top left, it likely provides info on the former shelf-mark. A second library sticker is placed at the middle of the page, on the left; it reads 'Bc 29 [...] 1583 [...]'. Fol. Br: some text in very small font was written along the top right edge in black ink. Fol. Bv: 'Iivro de vedorias de Tolões des o ano de 1583 / ate 89' was written in black at the top of the page (this is possibly a reference to Telões, concelho de Aguiar). At the top right corner there is a library sticker with '280 [...]' written in black. On the left margin there is a signature and 'quã' written in pale ink. Proofreader/s:
