Notes

This is the first of a two-volume rimario, which includes rhymes listed alphabetically from ‘abbia’ to ‘ezzo’. The second volume is ms. 99, held at the Biblioteca Universitaria di Urbino as well. Each rhyme includes blocks of lines by Petrarch, Ariosto, and Ovid, listed in order of appearance in the respective works.
 
The anonymous author relies on the vernacular translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses provided by Fabio Maretti (Florence: Torrentino, Pettinari, 1568).
