Rome, Biblioteca Casanatense, ms. 50

Gaps in the sequence of commented RVF poems are due to the loss of a fol. between fols. 20 and 21 and another one between fols. 234 and 235. There is a running header in red ink for each RVF poem.
 
According to Paolino (1999, 155), this ms. is one of the six manuscript copies of Patrizi’s commentary to RVF. The other copies are: London, British Library, Additional 15654; London, National Art Library (V&A Museum), Forster 48.D.28; Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, italien 1024 and italien 1026; Florence, Biblioteca Riccardiana, Ricc. 1141. There is also another ms. containing Patrizi’s commentary: Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Barb. Lat. 3937.
 
All other contents have been penned by a sixteenth-century hand that added sixteenth-century poems and the letter in the fols. originally left blank in the ms.
