quod peccat in spiritum sanctum subtrahendo ab eo oracionis suffragia
Explicit tractatus de indiuiduacione temporis et instantis quem composuit Subtilis vir magister Iohannes Wycleph
The treatise starts with a summary of the contents, the treatise proper starts on f. 2v with: ‘Intrando de tempore sunt aliqua ex dictis strictis capienda’. According to Schieche (1979) there are 24 notes in Czech throughout the manuscript, they are found on: ff. 11v, 14v, 23r, 29v, 32r, 40v, 44v, 52r, 56r, 58r, 60r, 64r, 77v, 95r, 96r, 103r, 117r, 125r, 127r, 132r, 135r. The glosses are also transcribed and translated into English inDziewicki (1902), pp. lxi–lxiii.

Tractatus de ideis
INtrando \tractando/ de ydeis primo oportet querere si sint
quod omnis creatura et solum creatura habet ydeam propriam in deo
Explicit tractatus de ydeis ergo laus domino
Stephens ascribes the second and fourth text to Jan Hus, cf Stephens (1847), pp. 35–39. However Dziewicki (via previous research) argues convincingly that the second text is written by Wyclif, while the fourth is by an unknown author, cf Dziewicki (1902), pp. liv–lxvi.

(LCI)
Top left corner, in pencil by a modern hand: ‘A 164’; below in ink: ‘G. Stephens Britt. Hdskr. No XIII’.
(f. SL1r)
Centre page, in brown ink by a modern hand: a table of contents crossed over in blue crayon, below a later note in Swedish: ‘Se Wyclif Society, 1901 och 1903’; bottom of page by: ‘Apographum Johannis Hus de Hussynetz. 1398.’; below, in black ink: ‘Jachesius register: nr 13 in 4:o (index ms:orum ab igne servatorum). 1734 års Kat.

Textblock
(f. 1r)
The page is ruled in ink for two columns. The entire left column and 5 lines of the right column are filled with Latin text in a rapid cursive hand. Bottom right corner, in ink: ‘13.’, ‘9.’. This leaf is attached to the first quire, but did probably originally not belong to it.
(f. 1v)
Top of page, in ink in a modern hand: ‘johannis wycleph th. D. tractatus dup. 1us de individuacione temporis. 2us de veris -tatibus
\universalibus/.
’.
(ff. 3v–134r)
Marginal and interlinear additions by one or several contemporary hands (perhaps the scribe). Some leaves, e.g. (f. 7r), contain copious additions. The additions seem to consist mainly of corrections and additions of omitted text.
(ff. Fragment_Ar–Fragment_Av)
This loose leaf seems to be written by the same hand as the text on (f. 1r).
