Ornamental vases, perspective studies, a word list and sums
Candelabrum and footed vessels with converging perspective lines and figures
The left of the sheet is filled with finely drawn ornamental vessels: a tall turned candelabrum, footed urns and a handled goblet on a stem. The lower half carries perspective diagrams whose ruled lines radiate from and converge on points, with small circles strung along some of them. The transcription records only a short list of Italian words and, on the sheet turned upside down, columns of figures; further dense notes surrounding the drawings are not transcribed.

Ornamental candelabrum and footed vases
A tall turned candelabrum, two footed urns and a handled goblet are carefully drawn one above another down the left side. They read as studies of decorative metalwork or vases.
Perspective lines converging on points
The lower half of the leaf carries diagrams whose ruled lines radiate from and converge upon points, in the manner of a linear-perspective construction. Small circles are strung along several of the lines.
List of Italian words
A short list of Italian words is set down one below another: predominare, predire, rettificare, celerita, premanente, provocare. It reads as a vocabulary or spelling exercise.
Columns of figures on the inverted sheet
With the sheet turned upside down, columns of figures and a division are worked out, among them 2680, 430, 225 and 351. The transcription gives only the numbers, not their purpose.
