5r–⁠72v	‘Centum verba Ptolomei cum expositione Abuiafar filii Ioseph Abrae scriptoris. Dixit Ptolomeus: Iam scripsi tibi, Iesure, libros de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Primum vebum. Sciencia stellarum ex te et illis est… (5v) Quod dixit Ptolomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — quod ego malui exponere in hoc libro, et credo quod idoneum sit suis rationibus et quod perfecta sit eius expositio ad laudem omnipotentis Dei et omnium sanctorum eius. Finis centum verbis Ptolomei clarissimi in Christi nomine.’ = Abuiafar Hamet filius Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (tr. Plato of Tivoli) (C.3.1.1) . A few glosses by the scribe and, apparently, by another, contemporary hand that added, in the margins, the propositions in Giovanni Pontano’s translation (see below).
5r–⁠71r	‘Verba Pto<lomei> e Greco traducta per Pontanum. A te et a scientia, fieri enim nequit ut qui sciens est particulares rerum formas pronuntiet — sin non moventur provincialis hostis erit.’ = Giovanni Pontano, Liber commentationum in Centum sententiis Ptolemaei (C.3.16) , propositions only, as glosses to the Centiloquium above.
72v–⁠74v	‘De mora media, maior et minor. (73r) Dixerunt Ptolomeus et Hermes quod locus Lune in hora — expertus fuit ipse magister multotiens.’ = Pseudo-Ptolemy, Dixerunt Ptolemeus et Hermes quod locus Lune... (B.5) . Glosses by the scribe.

133r–⁠145v	‘Opusculum Tebit filii Chore pro declaratione Almagesti Ptolomei. Equator diei est circulus maior qui describitur super duos polos orbis — aut propinqui erunt retrogradi. Finit Tebit.’ = Thebit Bencora, De hiis que indigent expositione antequam legatur Almagesti (C.1.1) . Marginal notes by the scribe, mainly the topics dealt with.
