Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual brief description in Latin: ‘1455. An. i. (to which ‘ii.’ has been added in pencil) Callixt. iii.’ A flyleaf, damaged with holes, has in different contemporary hands: ‘Primus de beneficiis, de dignitatibus, [de] prebendis [et] dignitatibus, de prebendis vacantibus et de diversis formis anno primo,’ ‘R(ecipe) G., P.’ [de Varris], ‘Rubricatus est,’ and ‘Vis(a).’ On the bottom edge of the volume is the usual faded contemporary description almost identical with that above, viz. ‘Primus de beneficiis, de dignitatibus, de prebendis, ac de prebendis et dignitatibus vacantibus et de diversis anno primo domininostri domini Calisti pape iii.’ There are ff. i. to cccxxiiii, of text.
  • 2. Ill written.
  • 3. ‘Orichon,’ with a superscript ‘t,’ but no corresponding caret.
  • 4. ‘Dumkelden.’ of the text is cancelled, and written above it is ‘O(ctavianu)s,’ ‘Dumblanen.’ being substituted in the margin with the note: ‘Co[r]rectum et cassatum de mandato Jo. Zamoren. riceregentis, O. Pontanus.’ A like correction has been made in the margin throughout the letter where the error has been detected by the corrector, ‘O. P.’, with the note each time ‘Correctum et cassatum et supra,’ with or without the addition of ‘O.’ or ‘O. Pontanus.’
  • 5. promoveri et unum cum cura vel sine cura primo, et deinde eciam postquam clericali caractere fueras insignitus ut aliud eciam si canonicatus et prebenda alterius quam cathedralis ecclesie forent beneficia ecclesiastica.
