Copy Features - NoteFrom M. Pellechet, "Catalogue général des incunables des bibliothèques publiques de France", pp. 101-102: "L'exemplaire en vélin de la Bibliothèque nationale, le seul de ce genre que nous ayons vu, ne contient aucune gravure; toutefois les blancs destinés à les recevoir existent."
From “Commento sopra la «Commedia»”, edited by Paolo Procaccioli, p. 136: "Senza ill.; esemplare misto: la pergamena è integrata da fogli cartacei (per il primo fascicolo le cc. 8-12, e poi q3, q4, mm4, F5, H1-10, I1-6, L1-12); b1r risulta impresso al solo recto; ll8v è stampato al posto di E8v, e viceversa; un foglio volante allegato al vol. contiene un appunto a firma L. Dyer in cui si dà conto delle lacune e una nota a matita non firmata che precisa «on pourrait encore ajouter les deux répétitions que s'est permis l'imprimeur: rii, seconde moitié, il a reimprimé les quatre dernières ligne [sic] du recto au verso, riiii seconde moitié il a reimprimé les deux dernières lignes du recto au verso»; notazioni."
According to G. Molini, this copy was made up with scrapt parchment leaves from the Magliabechiana copy (now Firenze, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Banco Rari 341).
