Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern label, in Italian: ’Nicolò V. 1457 (corrected in pencil to ‘1450’). Anno 4. Lib. 1.’ A flyleaf has, in three different contemporary hands, the description ‘Primus de provisionibus, litteris dominorum cardinalium, tabellionatus [officio] et plenaria [remissione, anno] quarto,’ ‘R(ecipe) N., A.’ and ‘Vidi.’ A preceding flyleaf has ‘Vidi Hib Ang. et pro R(everenda) C(amera) A(postolica),' and other modern notes. On the bottom edge of the volume is the usual contemporary description: Primus … tabellionatus (as above) et de plenaria anno quarto domini nostri domini Nicolai pape quinti. The text comprises ff. 1–318.
  • 2. Each of the following grants of the office of notary and faculties to confer it occupies about half a page, the fee being xvi [grossi], as usual. In the margin of each is the name of one or other of the following secretaries:—Jo. Aurispa, A. de Florencia, Marcellus, Poggius, Rinuncius, G. Trapezuntius; and the subscription after the date consists of the name of one or other of the following Registratores:—A. de Feletis, O. Pontanus, T. de Tervisio, P. de Varris.
  • 3. Spelt ‘Hogehyu’ in the appended oath.
  • 4. The heading ‘de Altaribus’ does not occur until f. 238. The following three indults are therefore under the heading ‘de plenaria remissione’, which occurs on f. 226.
  • 5. domino loci Palumiplace.
  • 6. Oxonien, rectius Exonien.
  • 7. Datum Rome apud Sanctum Petrum Anno Incarnationis Dominice Millesimo … quinquagesimo, Sexto Non. Maii Anno Tertio. ‘Tertio' is evidently an error for ‘Quarto,’ as in the preceding indult, and as required by ‘Anno … quinquagesimo.’
  • 8. Oxoniensis, rectius Exoniensis.
