The More Select and Obscure Dogmas of the Kabbalists

This manuscript page is severely damaged, exhibiting heavy staining, foxing brown spots caused by aging and moisture, and significant "ghosting" or bleed-through from the text on the reverse (recto) side. Most of the legible text is mirror-imaged and belongs to the title page of the "Catechism [issued] by decree of the Council of Trent." This side of the leaf primarily contains provenance markings and library stamps.

A blue circular library stamp with a central floral emblem, possibly a fleur-de-lis, representing a royal or institutional library. LIBRARY OF SAINT AGATHO original: "BIBLIOTECA / S. AGATHONIS." This oval stamp identifies a previous home of the manuscript, likely a monastic or cathedral library dedicated to St. Agatho. Faint rectangular mark on the right margin, likely where a shelf-mark label shelf-mark: a code used by libraries to indicate a book's physical location on a shelf was previously attached. An indistinct circular stamp in the bottom right corner, too faded to read.
