Title supplied by cataloger. Collation: Parchment. i, 1-48, 58−6, 66+1; lacking 6 folios (VI: 83-VIII: 75) after fol. 33 (fol. 33 and 34 are the outer most bifolium of the quire, and the inner three bifolia are missing). Vertical signatures. Modern pencil foliation in lower right corner dates from a previous (mis)binding and is incorrect. Modern pencil foliation in upper right corner is correct. Layout: 1 column, 24 lines. Writing and bounding lines ruled in brown plummet, side margins doubled. Script: Written in a humanistic bookhand in brown ink. Incipit rubric gilt. Decoration: Six 6-line gilt initials on blue or green background with salmon infill and pen highlighting, five 3-line gold initials. On fol. 1, scrolling half-border in colors; in the lower margin, in a wreath, a shield with an erased coat of arms. Origin: Written in Italy in the last quarter of the fifteenth century. When examined by Jackson, the manuscript was misbound, hence her description (and therefore that of de Ricci) is inconsistent with the current state of the codex. Arms of first owner erased. Sir Henry Hope Edwardes (his bookplate formerly inside front cover of Bedford binding); his sale (London, 1901, n. 375) to Quaritch (Cat. 211, Jan. 1902, no. 155). Owned by George A. Plimpton.
