Handschriftliche Anmerkungen
decorationNoteSeries of pen and watercolour drawings representing the first eleven fables, from ‘De gallo et iaspide’ to ‘De apro et asino’). The figurative representations are extremely vivid although rather elementary from a technical and stylistic point of view, and are accompanied by captions which express the meaning of the story in the form of dialogues. On a1r the wolf addresses the lamb, accusing him: "tu m’intorbidi l’acqua", which translates line 5 of the fable: 'rupisti potumque michi rivoque decorem'. Both illustrations and captions were made by a late 15th- or early 16th-century Italian hand. The same hand is also responsible for other sketches which remained uncoloured throughout the book, and the insertion of interlinear and marginal notes mainly concerning the meaning or synonyms of some words (see below).
hasIlluminationsbooleanyes
msNoteA series of marginal manuscript captions for the drawings, in a late 15th- or early 16th-century Northern Italian hand (possibly that of a young student learning Latin) on a1r-a3r. The same hand is responsible for a series of interlinear corrections and marginal notes on a4r and b4r-v. See for instance on b4r, 'cessi' corrected to 'gessi' (line 18); 'abest' translated as 'non est presens' (line 16); 'penam' translated as 'tormentum' (line 17), etc.
