Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern description in Latin: ‘1451. An. vii. Nicolaus V.’ A flyleaf has, in different contemporary hands: ‘R(ecipe) B. A.’ [de Feletis], ‘Primus de prebendis et dignitatibus vacaturis Anno viio .’ and ‘Rubricatus per me B. Fidelem die xiii. Junii 1455.’ On the bottom edge of the volume is the usual contemporary description, virtually illegible, but evidently ‘Primus. … ‘as above, with the addition of ‘domini nostri domini Nicolai pape V.’ The volume contains ff. 1–243 of text + ff. 244–245 blank.
  • 2. de soluto seu presbytero.
  • 3. The heading, de prebendis et dignitatibus, suggests that this letter is incomplete or registered out of place, its proper place being under ‘de prebendis vacaturis.’ A small contemporary cross in the margin opposite this passage suggests that the foregoing criticism is of long standing.
