For the Triumphi Latin annotations in the margins by multiple hands either explain passages of the texts or include brief summaries, names of characters, speakers, addressees, and discussion of rhetorical features. The colophon (fol. 33r) indicates that the part of the ms. including the Triumphi was composed in Rome by 1425.
At fol. 36r Francesco da Urbino’s sonnet is scratched out and barely legible.
