Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern lettering: Paul. II.Office. An, i. Lib. i. On the front half of the original sheepskin binding which survives at the beginning of the volume, is the contemporary ‘Officiorum i.’ There are 17 pp. of rubricelle, the first of which is headed:Liber primus Officiorum domini Pauli pape ii. Inceptus de mense Septembris anni mcccclxiiii, pontificatus sui anno primo. At the end of them is ‘Finis.’ On the bottom edge of the volume is also the description: i.Officiorum Pauli ii., in an abbreviated form. There are ff. i.-cclxxxii. of text + cclxxxiii. blank.
  • 2. The date is Rome apud S. Marcum anno etc. mcccclxvi., xvi. Kal. Martii pontificatus nostri anno secundo, where either ‘mcccclxvi.’ is an error for ‘mcccclxv.’ as in the preceding letter to the same Fergus, or ‘anno secundo' an error for ‘anno tertio.’ probably the latter, inasmuch as the bull of 21 March, 1465/6, above, f. 114, does not describe him as collector. Paul II was, in fact, at St. Mark's in Feb. 1465/6, and also in Feb. 1466/7.See above, pp. 231, 282, and passim.
  • 3. ‘Soldwell’ in the rubricelle.
  • 4. This is the usual incipit of an appointment as an honorary papal chaplain. In Reg. Vat. 543. f. 16d., it is the incipit of an appointment as a papal acolyte and chaplain. Cf. above, f. 139, and below, f. 244.
  • 5. Cf. f. 139, above.
  • 6. Here with the spelling ‘Purweour.’
  • 7. dilecto filio Johanni Capello de Verona ordinis Servorum beate Marie. The rubricella has: Johannes Capello de Verona, ordinis sancti Augustini.
