Notes

The annotations on the Triumphi (more extensive in the first half) are philological in character and deal with variant readings placed next to the relevant lines. The variant is recorded as follows: ‘domita lalterezza delli iddei’: ‘Domita fu l’altezza degli Dei’ (Triumphus Pudicitie 2, fol. 142r). More rarely, the annotator adds missing lines.
 
At fol. 149r is a sketched ink portrait of ‘Cosimo’; few maniculae.
 
RVF begins at RVF 9.12 due to the loss of the initial fols.
