Notes

Occasional marginal annotations by two hands: 1 in the same hand add some missing words to the commentary; 2 in a seventeenth-century hand pen additional verses drawn from Petrarch and a note of possession (at fol. 89v: ‘Dionisus de Gabbricellis filis [sic] de Marmis fect [sic] in dicis [sic] di luglio 1631’).
