Summary
A different hand has written ff. 198v–199v, one that has written a number of dispersed entries (see the section of the “Introduction” on scribal hands, p. xvi)
The red-ink heading at the top of this page reads “The Statutys off Ye cite of London”. Each of the two following paragraphs is given a large red initial three lines deep. A further red-ink heading is then written (see below).
