A charm

Incipit: Incaustum dum penna probat simul ipsa probatur

On the verso of a strip of parchment used in the binding, on which is written another charm (13th cent.), mostly illegible (beg. : ‘✠ In nomine patris’, ends: ‘protectio huic N. famulo dei ✠’) is written ‘Casperus Mulhoff’ (15th cent.?); on the front and end pastedowns are also written the letters ‘C.M.’ and on the end pastedown are ‘1488. K [or R] Petri’ and the line: ‘Ante dei uultum n⟨il⟩ unquam transit inultum’. There are annotations in the hand of this last note, which may be a hand used in one of the other notes, throughout the Elucidarius; and on fol. 4–4v of the first MS. this hand has supplied words cropped by the binder.
