This page is located in quire 1.
===Description===
This is the first page in the MS and it appears more worn then most other pages. The page contains four paragraphs (with 4.6, 2.4, 9.5, 5.5 lines, respectively), each followed by a short right-justified title. There is additional writing by later owners.
While the page has no significant illustrations, there are three red so-called "doodles" which have been drawn in the same way as the illustrations in the MS, namely with outline drawings in ink, and afterwards painted in red.
Folio nr (1) in upper right corner.
There are several cases of writing by later owners on this page, notably the ex libris of Jacobus de Tepenec.
The stains on this page are from several causes: Voynich and Brumbaugh both describe how they applied chemicals to this page, and there are also imprints of a previous tanned leather cover. 
A 1-inch band along the right margin is heavily stained. There seem to be two or three columns of letters ("key like sequences") in that band, which are barely visible in the reproductions.
There is a faint unreadable text at the top of the page, apparently in cursive handwriting.
===Illustration(s)===
At the top right corner there seems to be a red mark. Paragraphs 2 and 3 begin with big "weirdo" doodles, very unlike normal Voynichese letters.
The folio number is not very clearly visible and there is red mark vaguely looking like 29 below it. 
The first (EVA &252 ) looks like a capital K lying on it side, with the vertical bar at the bottom. 
The second (EVA &253) looks like the first, with an extra squiggly line rising from between the two "horns". The two symbols are drawn or painted with flaring strokes ending in swallowtail serifs.
=== Text ===
There are 24 lines of text, subdivided into four paragraphs. Each paragraph ends with one or two right-justified words (sometimes referred to as 'titles').
Paragraphs 2 and 3 have large initials (coloured red) which are not part of the Voynich alphabet. The two symbols are drawn or painted with flaring strokes ending in swallowtail serifs.
The right margin is badly stained. The text in the right margin shows three columns of letters. The first column has a through z in a lower case italic hand. The presence of every letter could not be confirmed, but a, b, c, ... o, p, q, r, s, ... y, z are pretty clear. Next to those are very spotty fragments of Voynich letters. Jim Reeds could make out d next to a, r next to c, g next to y, and one of the gallows letters somewhere near the q, r, s range. The third column seems to be 1 off from the first: italic miniscules, r next to s, and so on. Th.Petersen copies some of them in his hand transcription, but more is visible in the UV shots. Brumbaugh further reports seeing some numbers in the upper right corner of f1r before it was obliterated by the application of chemicals (intended to reveal faded writing).
The bottom margin of f1r contains the ex libris: Jacobj a Tepenece, visible under UV light.
Voynich reports seeing illegible characters below this name. Brumbaugh reports that below the signature is the word "Prag" In reality, it says 'No 19' (number not entirely certain).
