Milan Cathedral account entries, threaded cylinder and a nude
A reused Duomo register leaf with debit and credit columns and faint later sketches
The verso, invisible before restoration, is another leaf of the Milan Cathedral (Duomo) account register, ruled in two columns for 'dare' (debit) and 'avere' (credit), one column mutilated; a pencil shelf-mark 16 v.c is a recent addition. The left column records a debit for de Sovicho and the right a credit naming Gasparo de Comitte, Marcho de Ferrariis and Arigolo de Archonate, with sums in lire and shillings and currency-exchange (cambio) rates per scudo. Faint later additions include a pencilled cylinder end drawn as threaded with three parallel rings and a charcoal drawing, trimmed when the sheet was cut, in which a nude figure seems recognisable.

Debit column of the Duomo register
The left column records a debit ('dare') entry: de Sovicho, named above, is to give, the sum entered in the green book on the 3rd of January, £3 · 275 s., with a corresponding credit of £3 · 350 s. on the days named.
Credit column with currency-exchange entries
The right column records the credit ('avere'): an entry of 10 November for Gasparo de Comitte and Marcho de Ferrariis for an exchange of 1000 scudi, and one of 15 December for Arigolo de Archonate, with rates of 65 to 66 s. per scudo.
Threaded cylinder end
A later pencil addition, invisible before restoration, draws the terminal part of a cylinder as threaded with three parallel circles.
Charcoal nude
A confused charcoal drawing on another fragment, mutilated when the sheet was trimmed, in which a nude figure seems recognisable.
