Which things in the manuscript can be dated?

Ah, OK thanks.

Yes, it is entirely reasonable that this would be the last 'original' entry in the MS.

There aren't many entries in the MS that can be called 'later' with any confidence.
I think these few cases are:

- the quire marks. logically, these would only be added after the MS was completed and ready for binding.
- the month names in the zodiac area.
- the folio numbers
- much more recent annotations that seem to be in pencil: 'a' 'b' and 'c' above some of the cosmological pages
- the cover and anything written on it
