Summary

Monastic agreement and rules. The original agreement and rules (f. 1r-10v) were written in 1539 (f. 1r) and are followed by official approval by Marianus Tuccius (in Latin) and signed by the notary Pietro Berni (written "Brnus"; f. 10v). Folios 10v-15r contain additional agreements extending to the year 1717. This is really a form of agreement as to the rules that the community should observe. There are also later additions on f. 54r-54v (mention of an earthquake) and 73r-76v. The two unnumbered folios before f. 1 (one parchment and one paper) and the unnumbered folio after f. 76 (parchment) contain poems in honor of the Blessed Virgin and St. Egidius. Folios 16-53 and 55-72 are blank.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title and statement of responsibility from title page (f. 1r); title on spine label largely peeled off and hard to read.
   
• Three modern leaves of handwritten descriptive information in Italian were laid into the manuscript and are on file in the Library.
