Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern red leather label, with: ’Pii ii. Offic. An. i. ii. iii. Lib. i.,’ and on the bottom edge of the volume is the usual contemporary description, apparently: ‘i. Off[ici]orum Pii ii.’ Inside the volume is the usual front half of the original stout parchment binding, with the post-contemporary (? 16th cent.) description: ‘Primus Officiorum Pii ii,’ etc., the original contemporary description ‘Officiorum’ (?) being virtually invisible. There are 54 pp. of Rubricelle in an apparently 17th cent. hand, headed: ‘Rubricellae primi libri Officiorum sanctissimi in Christo patris et domini nostri domini Pii divina providentia papae ii. inceptae de mense Septembris anno domini 1468 (rectius 1458) pontificatus prefati domini nostri papae anno primo (the e-cedilla of the MS. heading is here represented in each case by ‘ae’),’ and ending: ‘Finis huius libri Rubricellarum.’ The text comprises ff. i to cccx., and covers the period of the first three years of Pius ii.
  • 2. ‘Non.’ of the text is cancelled and ‘septimo Idus’ is substituted in the margin.
  • 3. On f. 275 is the appointment as an honorary papal chaplain, dated at Petriolo in the diocese of Siena, 1460, 6 Id. June, anno 2 of ‘Nicolaus Johannis ordinis fratrum heremitarum sancti Augustini professor,’ his diocese etc. not being mentioned, so that his nationality remains unknown.
