Transcription Notes:
Agree with 1st transcription of [[next?]] & have therefore taken out of brackets. Uncertain of first [[nest?]] so have left as is. Also uncertain of second [[next?]] so have also left. -@siobhanleachman
Changed "simils" to "'similis'" on 2nd page and edited 7.19.34 to 7.10.34. Otherwise looked good! :) - GigglePop!
