On the verso of a front flyleaf, several notes in pencil written by the librarian of the British Museum include a previous shelf-mark (524.i.10.) followed by an indication of a section 1-12; both have been crossed out. The same formula, however, has been repeated in marginal notes in the final section of the book (ll. S-X), as a kind of reference to another copy or another edition of the same text.
