Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual Italian description: ‘Eugenio IV. 1437.Anno 7. Lib. 1,’ and on its bottom edge is the hardly legible contemporary description ‘Primus de beneficiis vacantibus et prouisionibus prelatorum Anno viio Eugenii pape iiiiti .’ Fol. i is headed, in a contemporary hand, ‘de beneficiis vacantibus [Anno] vii.’ There is no contemporary flyleaf.
