• Incipit: Logica quae est scientia rationalis discretiva veri a falso, viamque monstrat ac modum cognoscendi principia aliarum scientiarum (V.1, p.1).
   
• Explicit: ... et in hoc discursu conformiter ad alibi dicta ex integro subsistimus. Vale. die 30 Maii hora pomeridiana anno 1663 (V.3, p. 38).
   
• Contemporary or near-contemporary notes are laid in between the first and second leaves of V. 1; p. 34 and p. 35, p. 444 and p. 445, V.1; p. 700 and 701, V.2; and p. 1442 of V.2 and the title page of V.3.
