Notes

Marginal and interlinear annotations by a different humanistic hand either give variant readings, or point out some names mentioned in the texts, or else provide (in Latin) some biographical information on the characters mentioned in the Triumphi (mainly Fame Ia, Fame I, Fame II, and Fame III).
 
Decorated initial in gold for Triumphus Amoris I (fol. 112r); initials in gold for the beginning of all the other Triumphi and each subsequent capitolo.
