It is common for medieval and early modern manuscripts to contain multiple blank pages at the start and end of a volume. These leaves, known as flyleaves, act as a structural buffer. The fact that this page remains entirely clear of markings—no scribbles, ownership notes, or sketches—suggests that the book was a high-quality production where the parchment was prepared specifically for this volume and that subsequent owners respected the cleanliness of the book's introductory pages.
