Folio 240: Explicit quartus liber Principium...scriptum Wyenne Ano Dni Mmo quadracentesimo quarto... explicit: ...ex flammis profuit salamandra. Nizhni Novgorod 1308. The outer cover, which is not annotated in the catalogue, is a Hebrew manuscript, identified as being from the introduction to Moses Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed.
