A few scholarly notes and comments in the margins, mostly chapter indicators. On the verso side of the front flyleaf, Suhm made a note and signed it "PFSuhm"; shelf mark written beneath signature. In the back, a little slip (typical for the shelf mark) is inserted. It reads "113", which is the number the manuscript had in Suhm's collection.
