        MS notes apparently in Tornabuoni's hand, along with notes in other hands.
        Some corrections to the text.
        On the final verso some pen-trials, along with the last three lines of Jacopo Sannazaro's sonnet XLIX, followed by the letters "N.g.s.c" (these also appear on f.r4r). Other verses, partly in other hands, on the final flyleaves.
