Notes:
Incipit (p. 1): Papa Urbano IIII di na[tivita?] francese per la malignità di Manfredo ...; Origin: Written in Naples in the first half of 17th century (Zacour-Hirsch).; Title from title page (p. iii).; Ms. codex.; Inscription at bottom of title page: "Da Ettore Capece Latro Napolitano"; this note is repeated on the title of an incomplete index table at the end (recto of folio following p. [178]). This note could be interpreted as indicating that a man of this name was the author. However it is more probable that the renowned jurist in Naples, Ettore Capece Latro, a member of a great patrician family, who died in 1654, copied the present manuscript from an earlier copy in the possession of the Dukes of Monteleone, perhaps in his youth.; Pagination: Paper, i (modern paper) + 93 + i (modern paper); [iv], 1-177, [178]; [iv]; contemporary pagination in ink, upper outer corners.; Script: Written in a cursive script by a single hand, with various marginalia in what appears to be one or more different hands.; Decoration: Pen drawings of potted plants, etc. on title page and on recto of folio following p. [178].; Binding: Modern boards. Severe oxidation of ink; on some folios the paper has been eaten through. Various smudges and stains.; Bookseller's notes (H. P. Kraus) on file in the Library.; Italian.
