Summary

Collection of 16th-century Italian poetry that contains a preface by Tansillo dedicating the work to Iacopo Carafa (in the manuscript as Carrafa) as well as a list of errata. Also includes two other works: Stanze in Lode della Menta; and Recapricci del Carrara. The caption title of the third work describes the work as "Enigme" and attributes them to Giovanni Lombardello. It consists of 75 sonnet "enigmas" and is dedicated to Giovanni Batista Carrafa. On f. 248v, after the end of the list of solutions, is the inscription: "In Napoli Jo: [Sul]tzbach A di. 28. Genn. 1544." This might be the publisher and the date of the printed work from which this copy was made.

Binding

18th-century[?] vellum, completely detached from text block and lower hinge almost completely detached from spine. The manuscript was probably part of a larger volume before being placed in its present binding. The first quire of the present manuscript, beginning with f. 137, is quire S. The front flyleaf is missing. The first leaf is almost entirely separated from the binding.

Layout

Written in 20 long lines, frame-ruled in lead.

Script

Written in an italic script by what appears to be a single hand.
