Notes

Occasional marginal annotations by the same hand either add a few missing words, or write a running number close to each capitolo of the Triumphi, or else invite the readers to learn a passage by heart (e.g., by writing ‘memoria’).
 
After fol. 41, a fol. (with RVF 135.58-97-138) is missing.
 
Historiated initials for RVF 267 showing the head of Laura (fol. 68r) and RVF 366 showing the Virgin Mary and Child (fol. 92r); decorated initials in gold for RVF 1 (fol. 1r), the beginning of each Triumphus and each subsequent capitolo, and life of Petrarch (fols. 122r and 123v); decorated initials for every RVF poem, Petrarch’s dispersa, Tinucci’s sonnet, and Petrarch’s note on Laura.
