Script: Written in a cursive script in the hand of Gianozzo Salviati.
Binding: 19th-century[?] half leather. Upper cover detached at hinge; leather spine is crumbling slightly.
Origin: Written in Florence between 1488 and 1522 (Zacour-Hirsch). Ownership inscription on p. 140 dated 1488.
The Lorenzo the Magnificent to whom the third item is attributed is probably not the famous Lorenzo the Magnificent, but rather his son Lorenzo, the Duke of Urbino, brother of Pope Leo X. A later owner's note in the manuscript identifies Fra Mariano as the buffoon of Pope Leo X.
The fourth item concerns the "Rappresentazione" presented at the church of St. Cecilia in Fiesole on 6 July 1522.
Endleaves contain a description of the manuscript in Italian, written in Florence and dated 16 June 1939. Inside upper cover contains a label with a modern description of the contents, also in Italian.
A modern transcription of the Giambullari letter and some notes in Italian were laid into the manuscript. These are now on file in the Library, along with a detailed description of the manuscript, in English, probably prepared by the bookseller from whom the Library purchased it. Many of the details in the present catalog record are derived from this bookseller's description.
Formerly owned by Gianozzo Salviati and members of his family (note, p. 140).
Unidentified owner received or purchased manuscript from [Tammaro?] De Marinis, Florence, 1939, and at that time identified the manuscript as previously part of the Melzi collection (note, front flyleaf recto); old call number on label, IB-6 Cod. A9 (inside upper cover).
Sold by Laurence Witten, 1955.
