Written in Italy in the first quarter of the fifteenth century by a scribe of Milanese origin, Hieronimus, who signed his name on f. 126; the style of the initials may point to Florence as the place of execution. Belonged to Carlo Archinto of Milan (1669-1732) whose ex libris is on f. iii verso, formerly the pastedown when the book was in its green vellum Archinto binding; see J. Gelli, 3500... - Keyword:
