Latin word-list with a column of names and figures (fol. 53r)
Vocabulary study alongside a short red-chalk list of names with quantities
The page carries another instalment of Leonardo's Latin-Italian vocabulary, with verbs and adverbs such as subigit (signoreggia), nititur (si sforza e s'appoggia), coepit (comincio) and iampridem (gia gran tempo). At the left, in red chalk, is a short separate list of abbreviated names, each followed by the figure four and a half. The two elements are unrelated: a language exercise and a jotted memorandum of names and quantities.

Latin vocabulary glossed in Italian
Each Latin word is matched to an Italian meaning, the entries here leaning toward verbs and time-adverbs: instar (a similitudine), ostenditur (fia mostrata), nondum (non ancora), omnino (in ogni modo). Some carry a compound gloss, such as nititur explained as 'strives and leans upon'.
Column of names with figures
A short list at the left, in red chalk, gives three abbreviated names, each set against the number four and a half: Mo., Anto., and Cernusco. It reads as a memorandum of names with an associated quantity, standing apart from the Latin study.
