Footnotes

1 On the back of the volume is the usual Italian description: 'Eugenio IV. 1439. Anno 9 (to which is added in pencil `10, 11, 12') Lib. 77 (corrected in pencil to `127'). A flyleaf has, in different contemporary hands: 'Primus de Regularibus, diuersis, Exhibitis nono, et de Curia ix, x. xi Annis domini nostri Eugenii pape 4' (which apparently occurs also, almost illegible, on the bottom edge of the volume, as usual), 'et sunt hic multa racua de diucrsis et exhibitis,' `Nicolaus rubricauil 27 Octobris 1441 Florencic' and 'Radulphus du Rotay, tax[ata] xl dispensatio, [_ de] Fulgineo soluit et reg[ist]ra[tu]ram.' Another flyleaf has the usual modern: 'Vidi pro R[everenda] C[amera] A[postolica] H[ib.] A[ng.] O.' 'Vidi Hib. et Ang.,' `Lib. lxxvii, jol. 308,' etc. The `sunt hic multa vacua' apparently means `folia vacua,' which at any rate is the case. Of the letters `de curia,' which begin on f.268 and extend to f. 308, none comes within the scope of this Calendar.
