The last leaf contains the supposititious Credo Pater Nostro and Ave Maria of Dante.

The first canto of each cantica is marked by a large woodcut; the other cantos by vignettes. These illustrations first appeared in the Venetian edition printed by Bernardino Benali and Manhio da Parma in March 1491, and were also used, with slight changes, in the editions of November 1491, of 1493, 1497, 1507, 1529, and were reproduced in the Milan ed. of Witteś text, 1864-66.

"The illustrations are interesting both in their origin and subsequent history. Those to Inf. I-XIX are apparently based upon the plates in the ed. of 1481, and so have certain connection with Botticelli's drawings. The fact that this resemblance ceases after Inf. XIX is a proof that the designer of these woodcuts had access to the engravings of 1481 but not to Botticelli's original drawings."-Cornell Dante catalogue, sub edition of March, 1491, q.v. for further account of both originals and copies.
