Notes

Occasional marginal annotations by the same hand add some missing words; scattered marginal and interlinear annotations by a nineteenth- or early-twentieth-century hand (in pencil) either provide variant readings, or correct a few passages, or give short paraphrases of some other passages, or else signal the beginning of a new capitolo of the Triumphi.
 
Decorated initial for Pseudo-Filelfo’s prologue to his commentary (fol. 1r).
