Notes

Ragusio’s commentary mainly provides a summary and paraphrase of Petrarch’s poems.
 
The fols. containing this commentary are bound at the end of an edition of Petrarch’s poems (Venice: Dominicus Siliprandus, 1477). The copy of this print housed at the BNF has only the first part of the edition (with Pseudo-Antonio da Tempo’s commentary).
