Notes

Decorated initials in gold for the beginning of each Triumphus and each subsequent capitolo, each RVF poem, Petrarch’s note on Laura, and the extract from Petrarch’s Latin letter to Giacomo Colonna; at fols. 11r, 25r, 31r, 42r, 54r, and 64r is an architectural frame.
 
The illuminations have been attributed to Cristoforo Majorana. See Ms.NYPC, 356.
 
Fols. 49-50 (with Triumphus Fame III.93-121 and Triumphus Eternitatis.1-41) were lost and have been substituted by two other fols. containing the same lines (written by a different later sixteenth-century hand), but without the epigraph preceding Triumphus Temporis and the rectangular-box illumination for Triumphus Temporis.
