Notes
Ms. codex., Title from illuminated titlepiece (p. 7) and opening (pp. 9-10). It contains some of the well-known useful books... I wrote a summary that includes what is in it of rules and includes what it needs of examples and evidence... and I called it a summary of the key, and I ask God of His grace to benefit from it as He benefited from its origin.
