'... Matricola della veneranda Scola ouero Confraternità di Santa Lucia in S. Stefano di Murano nouamente eretta l'anno 1704 ...', containing chiefly ordinances from 1704 to 1806, with some signatures. Some of the earlier leaves are represented by later copies.

The 19th cent. bookplate bears a complicated coat of which the dexter chief division is, or a bend vairé argent and azure coticed gules: beneath is 'S. C. F. A. M.', which may possibly refer to the school.
