Overview

When the contemporary binding of Spencer Library's 1508 edition of Ptolemy's Geographiae was repaired in the middle of the 20th century, this strip of paper was removed from the binding. There is a multiplication table in column form on the recto of the strip of paper and the verso is blank. The volume was printed in Rome by B. V. de Vitalibus.
