Some marginal and interlinear notes by a later hand. Part II (ff. 52r-80v): Written in minuscule, large and rather careless, by Scribe 2 of part I; marginal and interlinear notes by same hand. Part III (ff. 81r-88v): Written in Greek minuscule, small and very neat (tops of letters close to but not touching ruling), by Scribe 3; marginal and interlinear notes in red by original scribe; notes in brown by a different hand. Part IV (ff. 89r-129v): Written in minuscule, large and rather careless, by Scribe 4, who adds flourishes in the margins; a few marginal notes by a later hand. Part V (ff. 130r-198v): Written in minuscule by several scribes: Scribe 5 (ff. 130r-176r), a small neat hand; Scribe 6 (ff. 177r-198v), a large and progressively more careless hand; f. 176v by a small, neat later hand.

Part III: Four-line initials in red, with floral ornaments; red also used for headings, notes of original scribe, and diagrams of syllogisms.

Part V: Spaces left for initials within the text were never filled., Water damage on ff. 9r-16v and ff. 161-174; Parts I and III eaten by worms.

Cloth label attached to the spine reads "ARISTOTELIS OPERA VARIA G. M-S."
