The Virgilian Cento of Proba Falconia [4th cent.], preceded by a citation from the 'De mulieribus illustribus' of Boccaccio.

Three works by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), viz. (a) L'Amorosa Fiammetta (imperfect, wanting one leaf at the beginning), (b) Corbaccio, and (c) Ameto. They are written on paper, in double columns, in the hand of Ambrugio Speççaferro and were completed, according to colophons, on 6 September, 15 September and 17 October 1457 respectively. There are pen-work initials in red and blue; some initials, perhaps illuminated, have been removed.
