Inscriptions

Watermark: centre: a name, Peter Bower suggested it reads CONARD or DUNARD in a lozenge.

Inscription: Recto: upper centre edge, brown ink, cut off: “C ~mh[?] […]” [Seilern thought this was actually contemporary writing upside down, but is cut off by edge and impossible to read]; centre, brown ink: illegible.

Collector's mark: none.
