General notes

Third edition of the Latin works of Petrarch, interesting to bibliographers on account of the separately printed Bucolicum carmen (leaves A-E⁶ at end), with its concluding phrase: Petrarchae laureati poetae sub Bucolico carmine recollectionis sub uiro uenerando Magistro Beneuennuto de Ymola recollecte foeliciter expliciunt: per me Marcum Horigono de Venet. Annis d. nostri Iesu Christi currentibus. M. ccccxvi. Die vii. Iulii. It seems clear that the date is not a printing date, but rather the date on which the scribe Marcus Horigonus finished copying the manuscript Printing statement from colophon on recto of leaf 8₈ Signatures: [maltese cross]⁴ A-K⁸ L⁶ M-2A⁸ 2B-2C⁶ 2a-2d⁸ [par.]¹⁰ a-z⁸ &⁸ [con]⁴ 1-7⁶ 8⁸ ²A-E⁶ Capital spaces with guide letters Printer's device on recto of leaf [494] Text printed in double columns Contents are listed on the title page, but not in the order in which they are actually printed.
