Notes: 1 and 2 are flyleaves ; Sullivan writes that the manuscript is "written in three booklets by four co-operating scribes and probably originally bound as one volume." ; An early fourteenth-century note, described by Sullivan, refers to the Bishop of Durham (2r). A hand that Sullivan dates to the fifteenth century inscribed "John Dent" on a flyleaf (1v). A Johannes Dent appears in a Yorkshire land dispute record from 1567, possibly the same John, or a relative.
