Note:

Title from explicit.
Written in southern Italy in Molfetta (prov. Bari), with an interlinear gloss, and completed on 30 Jan. 1466 (colophon, f. 79v). Naples followed the style of the Incarnation so the 1465 recorded in the colophon is actually 1466; one colored initial.
Incorrectly paginated in a modern hand at upper right corner.
In a 16th-cent. Italian vellum over stiff pasteboard.
In a tray case, 24 cm.
Purchased in 1905 by George Dunn (bookplate and inscription); his sale, London, Sotheby's, 2 Feb. 1914 and four following days, no. 1499; to Leighton. Belonged to Imrie de Vegh of New York.
Gift of Imrie de Vegh, 1949.
