If I can be so bold as to give my opinion on my own opinion, seeing as this is what everyone else here seems to have done...
What I have said for the last decade plus is:
* I have honestly no idea what the marginalia on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. currently say (though "luz" resembles "lutz", it probably isn't actually "lutz").
* I strongly doubt all of the large-scale readings researchers have proposed for both sets of marginalia
* I strongly suspect that the marginalia on both pages have been emended past the point of readability
* The microscopic codicological examination that should definitively answer the question of what these say has not (yet) been carried out. :-(
As to what the marginalia on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. originally said (which is a different question entirely), I have previously proposed that the first word of the main text on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. may well have been "nichil", and that I would be unsurprised if the next word was "obstat". Helmut Winkler points out that this was a sixteenth century Church Latin trope, and he is correct: but as far as I can see, he has no obvious way of knowing whether a similar or related textual practice was already in place by, say, 1470 or 1500.
