Title from spine.
Each of the sections on the sins begins as follows: El secondo [terço, etc.] bitio [i.e., vitio] chapitale si chiama invidia [ira, etc.].
The sections (Invidia, etc.) are indicated by headings in the upper right recto.
The last treatise (I boti) begins immediately after the section on Luxuria, without paragraphing to mark the transition.
Colophon (f. 61v): "Scritto per me Brunetto Daldobrandino et finito questo di XXIIIIo daprile MCCCCLV. a riverencia et honore diddio, et per sua gratia amen." It is possible that Brunetto D'Aldobrandino is the author of the text as well as the scribe.
