Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the modern description in Latin: ‘1458.An. i. Pii ii.’ On the inside of the back, in the hand of the late Mgr. Wenzel, is ‘To. xv. An. i.’ A contemporary flyleaf has in different contemporary hands: ‘R(ecipe) M., A.’ [i.e. A. Concordien.], ‘Rubricatus per me Johannem Beyer etc.,’ and ‘Primus de prebendis et de beneficiis vacantibus anno primo domini nostri domini Pii pape secundi.’ A similar contemporary description ‘Primus …’ occurs also, as usual, on the bottom edge of the volume. There are i.-cccxiii. ff. of text.
  • 2. Datum Senis anno incarnationis dominice millesimo quadringentesimo quinquagesimo octauo, Pridie Idus Aprilis anno primo. The corrector, P. de Varris, has cancelled the ‘octauo’ and written above it his usual ‘P s,' the first and last letters of ‘Petrus,’ his Christian name, but he has not substituted ‘nono.’ He has made a strange mis-correction on f. 254r, in the date of a letter, viz. Datum Mantue anno incarnationis dominice millesimo quadringentesimo quinquagesimo nono, Non. Junii anno primo, where he has cancelled the ‘quin’ and written the usual ‘P s’ over it.
  • 3. The address had precentori ecclesie sancti Andree. The word precentori is cancelled and over-written O. and s, i.e. the first and last letters of the Christian name of Octavianus Pontanus, ‘priori’ being substituted in the margin.
  • 4. Also spelt ‘Reneda.’
  • 5. ‘Quarto’ is added in the margin by ‘O.’ [Pontanus].
  • 6. The ground on which the mandate is based is not stated.
  • 7. The first syllable is ill written.
