Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume: ‘Inn. viii. Bullar. Ann. i, ii. Li. xv.'

Lib. xv.’ There are 1–6–vii–cccxviiij ff. of text, and no ‘rubricelle.’
  • 2. I.e. addressed to two executors only, but the text has, probably by force of habit (unless the name of a third executor has dropped out of the address), per apostolica etc. (i.e. per apostolica scripta mandamus) quatenus vos vel duo aut unus vestrum… conferre et assignare curetis…
  • 3. Corrected from ‘Ochonthy’ by cancellation of the first h.
  • 4. Recte Achamichayrt.
  • 5. Laonen., recte Laonien.
  • 6. ‘sextodecimo’ substituted in the margin for ‘undecimo,’ cancelled.
