Folger-specific note
Part I only (description of pt. II provided from BM 15th cent. and GW). Extensive early manuscript notes in different hands, manicules, brackets, and corrections in text. Several ownership inscriptions on leaf [*]1r (2 of them defaced, the 2nd one illegible), reading "Pellegrini Maraldij Cesenatensis", "Fris Michaellis Angeli de Pistoria Ordinis Seruoru[m]", and "Nunc ex libris Jacobi [...?] Romani ordinis [...?]"; inscription at head of same p. "Bononi[a]e P[reti]um 3 [...?]" partially illegible as a result of wear. Several gatherings have been repaired; rebound; in a tailored box. Purchased in 1929 according to Mrs. Folger's files.
