<inc> Uoi cascoltate in rime sparse il suono

fols. 1r-33v: RVF 1-263;
 
fols. 34r-47v: RVF 264-366;
 
fol. 47v: colophon: Deo GR[ATIA]S Amen;
 
fols. 48r: Dante’s canzone ‘Chosì nel mio parlar voglieser aspro’;
 
fol. 48r: colophon: Scrito per mano de Andrea da badagio in le prison de Venexia 1400 (on this colophon, see Bradley 1973, I, 86);
 
fol. 48v: blank;
 
fols. 49r-49v: five poems by Andrea da Badagio (‘Composte per Andrea da badagio’, poems: ‘Scrisse dante de linfero [sic] a pieno’, ‘Alma gentil tanto piatosa e dura’, ‘Volgie ormai inver dime la fronte’, ‘Dous frere un songie ma retret’, and ‘Bon fine ormai al mio doglioso fato’);
 
fols. 50r-51v: index of the first lines of RVF poems by a later mercantesca hand (under each letter of the alphabet, poems are listed in order of appearance). The references to the fols., written after each first line in the index, correspond to those in this ms. most of the time (differently from what maintained in Mann 1975, 314, n. 1, and Warner-Gilson 1921, III, 58): when they do not match, the poem is often readable on the verso of the fol. preceding the one stated in the index;

fol. 64r: extract from Petrarch’s Latin letter to Giacomo Colonna (Fam. II.9) (<inc> [q]uid ergo ais finxisse me mihi speciosu[m]; <exp> tibi pallor tibi labor meus notus est>), followed without any space by the eight-line Latin poem from Fam. XI.4 (<inc> [v]alle locus clausa toto mihi nullus in orbe; <exp> et clausa cupio te duce ualle mori);
 
fol. 64v: blank.
