All but the first and last lines of the text on leaf a7r has been erroneously reprinted on a7v; the first and last lines have been replaced by the word VACAT, spaced so as to occupy the beginning and end of the line in each case. It thus appears that owing to a miscalculation a7v should have remained blank, that as the book went through the press the type of a7r (which had already been printed off) was inserted as a bearer block on a7v, together with the word VACAT as a warning to the pressman not to ink it, and that this warning was disregarded.

Initial spaces, most with guide-letters.
