With the commentary of Bernardus Ilicinus on the Trionfi and that of Francesco Philelpho, continued by Hieronymo Squarzafico, on the Sonetti and Canzoni. The text of the Sonetti was corrected by Hieronymo Centone.

Leaf numbers printed at top right of rectos.
Initial spaces, some with guide-letters.

London 1884). The woodcuts are shaded in the manner of the engravings.
Ornamental woodcut initials of different sizes, white on black.

Features
Occasional marginal annotations in black ink manuscript, seventeenth-century.
According to a twentieth-century manuscript note written on an inserted sheet pasted to the recto of the front free endpaper, the first ten leaves of this copy (including the first full-page woodcut) have been supplied from De Zanis' 1500 edition (BMC V 434).
Some worm damage.
This copy is wanting all before leaf [5].
Bindings
Binding of full Italian vellum over pasteboard. The spine has five raised bands. Written directly onto the first panel in black ink manuscript is the name: Petrarcha. Written directly onto the second panel in ink manuscript, now much faded: Rime [...]. The leaf edges are coloured blue. Size: 307 x 212mm. Leaf size: 296 x 206mm.
Provenance
Coloured armorial bookplate of Sir Edward Allen Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired before 17 June 1929 when Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
