See more According to a note added to the Bodleian’s digitised copy of the Quarto catalogue (linked to below), the official copy of the library catalogue mentions an ownership mark reading Olim possedit Jac. Ofcote (?) miles, which is now lost and may have become lost when the manuscript was rebound. Part of the inscription is also quoted, with one slight difference, in the Bodleian’s Summary catalogue published in 1860 (“owned by ‘Jac. de Ofcote miles’?”).

The Catalogue of dated and datable manuscripts (p. 116) notes that there are “annotations in the hand of Sir John Prise” (d. 1555), with reference to N. Ker’s article on Prise. The Bodleian’s digitised copy of the Quarto catalogue repeats “annotations by Sir John Prise”.

Links to texts use a standardised title for the catalogue and so may or may not reflect what is in the manuscript itself, hence the square brackets. Their appearance comes in three basic varieties, which are signalled through colour coding and the use of icons, , and :
- - If a catalogue entry is both available and accessible, a direct link will be made. Such links are blue-ish green and marked by a bookmark icon.
- - When a catalogue entry does not exist yet, a desert brown link with a different icon will take you to a page on which relevant information is aggregated, such as relevant publications and other manuscript witnesses if available.
- - When a text has been ‘captured’, that is, a catalogue entry exists but is still awaiting publication, the same behaviour applies and a crossed eye icon is added.
The above method of differentiating between links has not been applied yet to texts or citations from texts which are included in the context of other texts, commonly verses.
While it is not a reality yet, CODECS seeks consistency in formatting references to locations of texts and other items of interest in manuscripts. Our preferences may be best explained with some examples:
- f. 23ra.34: meaning folio 23 recto, first column, line 34
- f. 96vb.m: meaning folio 96, verso, second column, middle of the page (s = top, m = middle, i = bottom)
- Note that marg. = marginalia, while m = middle.
- p. 67b.23: meaning page 67, second column, line 23
