Searcher,
I was looking at your pictures and I can't help but wonder aloud:
Is it plaintext: Paris ?
Written by a later owner who was wondering whether the rosette map might be a variant of the famous itiineraries of connected cities and maps made by Matthew Paris?
Yeah, unlikely, I know.

What I can note and what is quite interesting, is that the handwriting differs from the handwriting of the main text, but it is the same as in the other hidden notes.
All member see the letter "a" clearly, as I understand. Do you agree that it differs from the equal character in the text?
