Hi everyone!
So I noticed there was no thread yet about this page and decided to start one.
I put it under marginalia because, based on what I have read online, there seems to be a consensus that whatever is going on in this folio is distinct from the rest of the text/language, and possibly added later.
I also wanted to start this thread because I found something which I believe may be of interest while looking through manuscripts from the online collection over at the Munich Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.
I was looking at this edition of a medieval romance called Jungere Titurel (BSB Cgm 8470) to look at clothing and crowns etc, but instead ended up paying attention to the many marginal notes, especially this one:

It's not a match but those first two words definitely caught my attention... Von (or Con with a K?) labor... The text seems to be some kind of mix languages, and has something to do with "hearing the singing words"... I can't really make it out beyond that.
I know that such charms or spells with crosses are common but it seems to me the text of this one might provide a clue about that first line on f116v.
Feel free to agree/disagree!
