Title from caption at head of recto of 4th leaf.
Imprint from colophon.
Known in at least 6 issues, frequently mixed: see GW.
The date in the colophon reads 'bissexto kl. Martias', which should indicate 24 Feb. (F.R. Goff in BSA 24 (1940) 59 n.22).
The translator Lampo (or Lampugnino) Birago is often confused with Lapo da Castiglionchio, and so called Florentinus in the editions (M. Miglio in DBI s.v. Birago).
First leaf is blank in most variants.
Initials supplied in red and blue.
