NotesWoodcuts
The translations after the Vera Historia are by various hands. The Palinurus attributed to Lucianus is in fact the De felicitate et miseria of Maphaeus Vegius. The Carmina heroica in amorem are a free translation of the second idyll of Moschus (BMC VIII 412). Virtus Dea, purporting to be a translation from Lucianus by Carolus Marsupinus, is an original Latin work of Leo Baptista Alberti. Bordon is mentioned in the poem ad lectorem on 110 recto and in the privilege on 110v. Bordon also designed the woodcut border on fol. 1
