Summary

Collection of inscriptions predominantly in Latin, with signatures of many individuals, followed by a collection of Latin quotations from classical authors (f. 220v-251v). The entries dated 1731 were collected in Zittau, and many seem to be associated with a gymasium and college there; the entries dated 1733 were added in Frankfurt an der Oder.
