Contemporary ms. foliation added in 2 hands; a few ms. signature marks.

Bound in at end is an 11-page ms. (updating the text to the year 1512), written on paper in red and black ink, which duplicates the contents and layout of final gathering Y⁶ in the edition of Eusebius's Chronicon published Paris: Henri Estienne for Josse Bade, 13 June 1512.  The ms. is probably a "model copy" or mock-up used to plan the exact layout of the text, and used as setting copy by Estienne's compositors.  Only one other model copy from an early printing shop, that for the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle, is known to exist.  The ms. probably was written by the compiler of the continuation, Jehan de Mouveaux.  See Peter Way, "Jehan de Mouveaux’s 'Primum Exemplar' (a Model Copy Made for Henri Estienne’s 1512 Edition of Eusebius’ Chronicon)," Gutenberg-Jahrbuch (2003), 93-118.
