The edition of the Notes diverses contains, apart from a transcription of the manuscript and comments on the contents, also chapters on the scientific sources known to the school boy Champollion, on the theories of Pluche, on the illustrations in the text as well as on Champollion's ideas of hieroglyphs as symbols.
