Footnotes

RARE COMPLETE COPY OF THE ALDINE MEDICI, WITH THE EIGHT SUPPRESSED LEAVES IN GATHERING O. The majority of copies of this edition have only four leaves in the gathering, following the suppression of five canzoni. The removal of the four leaves was clearly intended to be immediate as the register notes "tutti sono quaderni, eccetto O che è duerno".
