Notes

The anonymous annotator provides two series of Latin annotations: 1) marginal ones (introduced by the Latin ‘at’) either naming mythological or historical figures or, more often, proposing variant readings; 2) interlinear ones carrying the Latin translation of some words of the text (e.g.: ‘auea cangiata uista’: ‘mutauerat forma’, ‘fosca’: ‘turbidus’).
 
Initials in gold at fols. 1r, 16v, 21v, 33r, 43r.
 
A fol. is missing between fols. 40 and 41, presumably with lines 70-121 of Triumphus Fame III and lines 1-36 of Triumphus Temporis.
