Ms codex.
Title from incipit on fol. 9; catalog record based in part on dealer's description.
Origin: Based on the latest entry, which describes the election of Pope Sixtus IV, this copy was likely produced in approximately 1472, and certainly no earlier than 1471. Contents, as well as script, dialect, and watermark evidence suggest that the manuscript was produced in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. Possibly written and/or copied by Dom Lodovigo da Cha da Fan, prior of San Vito in Vicenza, who is listed as the creator, in the first person, in an inscription on the inserted parchment leaf (fol. 133).
