| Notes/Discussion: | Recipe on verso (inv. 882 [B]) was perhaps intentionally erased, perpendicular to the text on the front. Purposefully erased so that the formulary could be activated and deposited? (EL). Writing begins with “I adjure you”. Probably same scribe as Cologne 1470 and P. CtYBR 3549, see ACM, p. 345. |
