The recto of the front free endpaper is inscribed "Liber Jacobi et Joannis hay 1618" and below that "ille habet secum, servetq[ue] sepultus" in formal italic hands. Also on the front free enpaper "Me emit [Abram?] dome P. Gordo[n]" in pencil in a possibly 17th-century hand. The title page contains a late 18th-century signature "Alexr Irvine", followed by a deleted inscription "Patricius steward" and another Latin inscription "Ex libris mgi [robret] robertj erskinj Decanj ab[er]donen[sis]" in 16th-century hands. There is also an unreadable inscription in a 16th- or 17th-century hand at the bottom of the title page.
A fragment from an apparently contemporary Scottish legal document is used as a binding strip at the end of the volume.
