Manuscript inscription, apparently letters of the alphabet, on the recto of the last leaf. Manuscript inscriptions in different 16th or 17th century hands on the verso of the last leaf "This is Andrwe Wilde is Book and if it be lost & you findinge it I pray you to retorne it Back", and "este iste liber Tho: Gull ex dono Andreae Wilde".
Inscriptions in apparently contemporary hands on the title page and at the top of the next leaf have been deleted. There are numerous underlined passages and brief marginalia notes throughout the volume.  Verses from Claudius concerning Britain are written at t8r, following the end of the text; lists of the dioceses and the abbeys of Scotland are written on the verso of the same leaf; the names of Pictish kings are on the recto of the following back free endpaper and another list of the abbeys of Scotland is on the verso of the same endpaper - all of these are in the hand of Sir James Balfour of Denmilne, 1st Baronet. Additional notes on this leaf and on the second back free endpaper are written in another 17th-century hand.
