Summary

The more formal text (in yellow ink) includes a first-person account of a minor noble, his family, and his estate with reference to rituals performed at his home. Additional notes have been added in chalk by multiple hands, including a sermon on the path and accounts or calculations. Many pages have notes that are casually written and difficult to read.
