Provenance
The coat of arms on f. 15, apparently original, is that of the Morelli family of Turin (see J. Gelli, 3500 Ex Libris Italiani (Milan 1908) fig. 425) gules two lion's jambs or in saltire paws to the chief and in chief a chess-rook or. Other arms added later on f. 1v, and covering an earlier escutcheon, azure five mullets of eight points in a cross or (possibly a variant of the arms of the Lancillotti family of Rome). A note, s. XV, on f. i verso reads, Eugenio quarto, 1431, Condulmeria famiglia, Venetus (referring to the election of Gabriele Condulmer of Venice to the papacy in 1431 as Eugenius IV).
