90v c notes

[^1]: This bit is an attempt at translating the Lichtenauer verse. In the MS, it's all written on two lines--the line breaks here are artificial based on punctuation.

[^2]: this appears to have been written first "nolet" and then over-written with a diagonal lower connector and a heavy curl-mark (as is used elsewhere/in other hands to indicate u). other u/v characters on this page don't have the curl mark, which could indicate it was added here to clarify the correction.

[^3]: illatam is il + latam -- latam is a form of ferre (bring, bear, carry off, get) and il is a form of in
