Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual 18th century description in Italian: ‘Nicolò V. 1454, Anno 8. Lib. 1.’ There is no contemporary flyleaf. A modern flyleaf has, in the usual 16th or 17th century hand, ‘Vidi hib. ang. et pro R(everenda) C(amera) A(postolica),’ and in an 18th century hand ‘Primus de prebendis, de prebendis et dignitatibus vacantibus anno octavo Nicolai pape Vti .’ The bottom edge has the usual contemporary description. There are ff. 1–296 of text.
  • 2. The headings at the top of the first folio of the successive quarternions are nearly all cut off by the binder.
  • 3. quandam focariam in concubinam publice in domo sua tenerenon expavit.
  • 4. The latter part of the name, viz. ‘ancud’ is added in the margin by ‘T.’ [de Tervisio.]
  • 5. ipsius Ludouici. The text is, however, somewhat suspicious at this point.
  • 6. Two executors only.
