Description

  There is a mark at the SE corner, resembling a "7" (uncrossed, with
  upturned serif on the top stroke) with a superscript "cg".

  Rene [04 Apr 1999] reports that the text's ink is darker than
  usual. Also that the Descender of the quire number ("quintus")
  should be visible on f39v but is not.

Comments

  The mark at the SE corner is almost surely a quire number, a digit
  with a Latin abbreviation. 

  Landini's comments say "gathering mark 5". But it looks more 
  like a "seven" to me...

  The petals have the same kind of perspective error as those on th big 
  flower of f53r (an "A"-language page).
