Folio 2v: Columns of Multiplication Figures
Two nearly identical sets of arithmetical calculations in pen
The verso is given over to arithmetic: two columns of figures in brown ink, set out as multiplications or long sums with intermediate products and small divider strokes. The two blocks are near-duplicates of one another, reading as a calculation worked and then reworked. No continuous prose accompanies the numbers.

Twin columns of multiplication
Two closely matching columns of figures are worked in pen, each showing operands, intermediate products and a final line. They appear to be a single calculation carried out twice with minor differences.
