Notes

At fols. 61r-71v, scattered marginal and interlinear annotations by the same hand either correct the poems, or give variant readings.
 
At fol. 15v is a full-page black-ink drawing of a nobleman with a hound and a falcon. Before and after the drawing, the capitolo ‘Io non posso pur farche dio non torni’ of Zenone’s Pietosa fonte continues with no interruption from fol. 15r to fol. 16r.
