Register or Login to view.Just a general comment about the choice between the meaning of "pox (leber) ..." as (1) a curse, or (2) a simple record of an exchange: I would rather expect a curse in such a significant place as the only few lines of text on the final page of a large manuscript, parts of which (the few lines) are enciphered in two different cipher systems. It would seem to be a strange place to record the amount of money that goat liver cost.
Not necessarily amount of money, but in any case the outer folios of an MS are the natural place for idle marginalia, can just be a passing record, and nothing more.

There's also some information about the suffix "-fer" in the Swiss Idiotikon: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (left column, some 8-9 lines from the bottom up).
