fols. iii, iv-vv blank. On fol. iiiv is a table of contents, little later than the main text, keyed to the foliation. It shows that the missing fol. 118 contained ‘Liber Metodii de tempore Antechristi et de die iudicii’, which went as far as 118v or 119, on which began art. 20. Curiously, these two arts. are listed separately, at the end of the table. Doubtless this attracted the attention of a Protestant fellow, and accounts for their removal. The remover presumably did not realize that art. 20 continued much further on in the book.
