‘(199ra) Dixit Ptholemeus: Iam scripsi tibi, Yesure, libros de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Sciencia stellarum ex te et ex illis… Cum dixit Ptholomeus, ex te et ex illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenosse desiderat — et ego Deum deprecor ut te dirigat. Perfecta est huius libri translatio 17o die Martii, 12o die Iumedi (!) secundi anno Arabum 530 etc. Et est finis huius operis. Fur: huius karte ledetur demonis arte, qui clepit hunc librum cleps est et cleps moriatur.’ = Abuiafar Hamet filius Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (tr. Plato of Tivoli) (C.3.1.1)
. Substantial glosses by the scribe, consisting of most propositions from the ‘Mundanorum’ version (C.3.1.3), starting with v. 1 at the bottom of f. 198vb (originally blank): ‘Alia translatio habet alias propositiones quarum prima est hec: Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutatio… Astronomus non debet dicere res specialiter sed universaliter…’.
