Note:
Collation: Folio paper (with fol. 1 and 10--the outer bifolia of the first quire--of parchment), with crowned-column watermark similar to Piccard III.i.245 (Venice, 1471) and Briquet 4412 (Sienna and Venice, 1461-1471). 1-810, 912, 108, 1112, 128, 1312, 148+1 (final folio tipped in). Early twentieth-century foliation on versoes skips fol. 71, so reaches 140 instead of 141. Layout: 1 column, 45 lines. Vertical bounding lines full-length, in blind or plummet, Prickings extant at top of vertical bounding lines. Script: Written in a cancellaresca script in brown ink. Rubrics written in red humanistic cursive. Decoration: Fol. 1r: full-page border with anthropomorphic depictions of the "four realms," in the lower border two women holding a wreath with space for armorial, left empty; each book begins with a 10-line white-vine initial with background in colors, those on fol. 35v, 70v, and 100v are unfinished; 3-line blue initials begin each chapter; 2-line brown capitals begin each tercet. Origin: Written in Italy in the second half of the fifteenth century.
