| Note 1 | Contains: a) Collection of sentences of classical poets arranged by subjects (in a rather bewildering order) compiled by G. Major (folios 2r-95v); b) Treatise on the virtue of poetry (De poetica virtute, et studio humanitatis impellente ad bonum) by Antonius Mancinellus (folios 98r-105v), preceded by a dedicatory to Antonius Petrica, dated 1 August 1536 (folio 96r-vo). The date of the dedicatory makes it clear that this A. Mancinellus may not be identified with the famous Italian humanist (Velletri, 1452 - Rome, c. 1506). |
