Pen and ink diagrams in text. Four folding cosmological charts demonstrating the evolution of theories of the solar system (Ptolemaic, Copernican, Tychonian, "Novum et verum") were pasted to pp. 183, 184, 190, and 192. At some point they have been cut through or corroded at the foot of the page without loss. The detached charts have been removed from the codex, unfolded, and shelved separately with the codex.
