Initia of the three works: Tanta est materie substitutionum utilitas ut statim ac ad eam explicandam animum appuli ...; Ampla satis legatorum materies nobis occurrit, quam, ut qua fieri poterit breviori atque utiliori methodo comprehendamus ...; Subtilissimam aggressurus materiam, ut rerum saltem confusionem effugiam qua juxta Xenophontis sententiam nihil fȩdius ...
On spine: MS Substit. Laegati. & Ius Accr.; also old shelfmark: .A./.X./.17.
