1 mittimus interclusam, ac formam iuramenti quod te prestare contigerit nobis de verbo ad verbum per tuas patentes litteras tuo sigillo signatas per proprium nuntium quantotius destinare procures (or procuret: there has been a correction of the last letter, i.e. either from ‘procures’ to ‘procuret,’ as it ought to be, or vice versa).
2 On the back of the volume is the usual modern label, with ‘Calix. iii. de Cur. Anno i. ii. Tom. vii.’ Inside is the usual front half of the original sheepskin binding, with various contemporary notes, e.g. the year ‘mcccclv.’, ‘facultates cardinalis sancti Angeli fo. c’ (the faculties for John cardinal deacon of St. Angelo, legate to Germany, occur in fact on ff. 100, sqq.), ‘Vidit Ph.’, etc. Some 16 pages of ‘Rubricelle’ are headed ‘Sequuntur Rubricelle septimi libri de Curia sanctissimi in Christo patris et domini nostri domini Calisti divina providentia pape tertii, incepte de mense Marcii mcccclvi. pontificatus prefati domini Calisti anno primo.’ There are ff. i.-cccclxxxx[i]. of text.
