Unidentified joke on fol. 51b:
Mulier haec paupercula venit ad me dicens posse me apud te. Si possum ostende. Mulier pro qua praecaris publicis subiacere tributis videtur et ideo non possum praestare quod petis. Si volens non potuisti utcumque res se habet. Si autem potens non voluisti deducet te deus ad indigentium chorum. Quando volens non poteris.
