[rubric, in alternating red and blue letters, enclosed in a black ink box tinted yellow: DE LA DESCRIPCION:DE LA TERRA:~~]

SUmmo Magistro creator verace
Per cui i cieli e terra facti sono
Conciedi per tua gratia e per tuo dono [rubric: ".b.]
Cio che in epsi si conten e giace [rubric: ".a.]
Ch'io possa seguitar como a te piace
Com chiaro stille e con perfecto sono
A figurar le terre e mari e venti
Si che n'abbi boni intendementi

[rubric: Zione]

¶ Fanosi quatro plage per mostrare
I stille de la terra e ogni parte
De l'oriente verso il coricare
Se fano cinque çone in alcun arte
E octo venti sum per navicare
E i nomi principali e meço e quarto
Quisti ne fano lume al ben intendere
Da qual parte la cosa e da comprehendere

[rubric: De li venti]

¶ Çefiro e quel che noi [corr: "noi" inserted] diciam ponente
E choro e maistrale e d'aquilone
Tramontana se chiama e poi seguente
Borea dicto greco Euro si pone
Per lo levante -e- noto incontinente
E sirocho ha nome e seguita africone
E meço di e ultimo del chiostro
Libetio o ver garbin che se dice hostro
