The text starts on f. 255r with: 'Incipit quarta pars grammatice Andree Gutterii quae graece orthographia appellatur', and ends on f. 261r Hic et super omnia ex grammatica Andreas Gutterius Cerasianus in sua grammatica collecta per me Georgium Herman in monasterio omnium sanctorum nigre silve, 6to iduum maii 1490.
