A1r Valagussa, Georgius: In flosculis Epistolarum Ciceronis vernacula interpretatio. Incipit: ‘[S]ono tanti li seruitii che tu me hai facto . . .’ See G. Resta, Giorgio Valagussa umanista del quattrocento (Padua, 1964), 38-42, who refers to its manuscript appearances with the title ‘Elegantiae Ciceronianae', and preceded by a poem addressed to Johannes Antonius de Girardis of Pavia. In the heading the author is called ‘praeceptor' of [Johannes] Galeaz Sforza, Duke of Milan.

A1r Cicero, Marcus Tullius: Epistolae [ad familiares: extracts] ‘Ex libro primo'. Incipit: ‘  “Tanta est magnitudo tuorum erga me meritorum” [Cic. Ad Fam. 1. 1. 1] . . .’
