Pointing hands and ‘nota' marks; copious early marginal annotations, mainly extracting key words and names, some commenting on the text. Running headlines supplied in an early hand, some now cropped.
On a1r a ten-line Italian (Milanese) initial ‘Q' is supplied in gold on a maroon ground; the area defined by the letter is blue with filigree in white; in the lower margin, a shield bearing the coat of arms of Hieronymus Bottigella, vairy, flanked by his initials: ‘HI BV', all on a maroon ground, of the same palette as the initial, within a green wreath; a gold dot on each side of the wreath; see Pächt and Alexander II, 114 no. pr. 136. Initials and paragraph marks are supplied in red or blue.
Provenance: Hieronymus Bottigella (Butigella?; c.1470-1515); inscription on S10v: ‘Hieronymi Butigellæ liber'; coat of arms on a1r (see above). Pietro-Antonio Bolongaro-Crevenna (1735-1792); sale (1789), part III, lot 3305 (ascribed to [Venice: Nicolaus Jenson, c.1476]), pencil number on S10v; in the annotated catalogue marked down to Payne for Fl. 12. Purchased through Payne for £1. 1. 0; see Books Purchased (1790), 6, where it is listed as ‘Orationes omnes absque ulla nota’. What was probably another copy, recorded in the Bodleian's 1843 catalogue (p. 535), with the shelfmark Auct. P 1.9, and probably purchased at the Meerman sale in 1824, is no longer in the Library (ex informatione Jos van Heel).
