Date Information
| Date(s): | 1380 to 1391 |
| Notes: | Oltrogge 1989, 317 gives the date as 1389 to 1394, but since Agnes Gonzaga is identified as an owner, the MS necessarily predates 1391, when she was executed, but postdates her marriage to Francesco Gonzaga in 1380. |

| Scribe description: | The second hand in the MS is smaller and has a single compartment 'a' as opposed to the two compartment 'a' of the first scribe, a more horizontal backwards stroke on his 'd', and uses slightly more abbreviations. The text block is the same size, but scribe 2 writes 43 iines to page as opposed to 40. |
