The materials on the Pontine Marshes range from 16th-century manuscripts (f. 3r-19v), to 3 engraved maps from the late 17th and 18th centuries (f. 145r, 184r, 333r), to substantial printed texts from the 18th century. 2 texts printed ca. 1715, which present arguments about the cutting of the forests of Sermoneta and Cisterna di Latina, have parchment finding tabs (f. 146r, 307r) that correspond to a partial table of contents at the beginning of the volume (f. 1r-1v), which notes that the 2 items are related. The records of the Maestri delle Strade are a group of late 17th-century manuscripts in the middle of the volume (f. 185r-306v) including correspondence, reports of street inspections (many signed by the architects Pietro Andrea Bufalini and Tomasso Zanoli), and a single printed edict (f. 233r).
