On the word "luez" in the marginalia of folio f17v
#18
I have come to agree with Aga Tentakulus that it is not Latin but German, specifically from southern Germany, Austria.

1. I have already proven that the last word could mean "volkomn ist" ‘to be perfect’. (Note: volkomn without ‘ist’ was brought into play by Aga Tentakulus).
   

2. If one were to read the first letter of luc3 this L as an f (because there is still a stroke indicated), it could mean ‘fuez’ with makron = fuezen = feet (plural) (The 3 is in German a typical z)

There are examples of this, even with ‘her’

Translation: "There are also people who have their heels turned forward from their feet."

3. This also proves that the german ‘her’ does not have to be a directional adverb (“here”) here, but is a prepositional particle with the meaning "von … aus / hinsichtlich / her gesehen" = "seen from / with regard to". This is a completely normal Middle High German construction, especially in descriptions of the body, characteristics or states.

4. allar / aller = ‘completely, utterly, in every respect’  serves to reinforce superlatives

And then it would say -
Mullier allar fuez her volkomn ist
Die Frau die von den Füßen her gänzlich vollkommen ist. 

translated:
The woman who is completely perfect from her feet up. Big Grin

In German, we still say today: A person is ‘von Kopf bis Fuß vollkommen’ (from head to foot perfect) and that could also be meant here.

Although this seems to fit reasonably well, the content would of course be more than questionable – what is the point of such a sentence in the margin of a recipe or similar? Marginalia do exist as ‘love texts’, but more often in texts of romantic prose.
