• Ms. codex.
   
• Overall title supplied by cataloger. Titles of individual sections taken from Zacour-Hirsch. Descriptive title on f. 1r is hard to read.

• According to a modern notation on the paper wrapper that once enclosed the manuscript (now on file in the Library), Gonzalo Peres de Cartagena was a favorite official of Queen Isabella and was a descendent of the famous Jewish convert, Paul of Burgos.
