Plans of a house with land measurement and calculations
Ground plans labelling hall, pantry, kitchen and bath, with a plot reckoned in pertiche
The sheet lays out several ground plans of a residence, one of them labelling a Hall, Pantry, Kitchen, Bath and small hall. A note reduces a plot 100 braccia wide by 294 braccia long to 15 3/4 pertiche, and dense columns of figures work through related multiplications. Several lines of prose across the top of the sheet remain untranscribed.

Ground plan of a residence
One of the plans is keyed to its rooms: Hall, Pantry, Kitchen, Bath and small hall, followed by a second pantry. The service rooms are grouped together at the foot of the sheet.
A plot reckoned in perches
A plot one hundred braccia in width and 294 braccia in length is reckoned as 15 and 3/4 pertiche. The figure sits among the numbers written across the sheet.
Columns of arithmetic
Long columns of multiplication and addition run down the middle of the sheet, handling numbers such as 294, 1470, 1855 and 27825. They accompany the plans and the land measurement.
