Vault

Vault: an archival term referring to a secure, climate-controlled storage room where rare or valuable manuscripts are kept to ensure their preservation.

The handwriting on this page is described as faint and informal. Such markings are common on the "flyleaves" (blank pages at the start or end of a book) and often consist of "pen trials"—where a scribe tests the flow of ink—or administrative notes regarding the book's location in a library.
