The MS 01020 is an Italian manuscript similar to a commonplace book, probably created in 1424. It currently rests in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library of the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario. The size and contents suggest that it was a personal reference book for a scribe or other writer, and folio 105r outlines a system of counter-ward pairs similar to that of the MS I.33.
