Analysis of content:

1. [*1v] [Amerbach, Johannes(?): Address to the reader and list of contents.] Incipit: ‘Sunt qui sibi iam plurima comparere volumina statuerunt . . .’ The text refers to emendations and printing in Basel; it therefore reproduces the address to the reader, probably by Amerbach, of the 1478 edition, printed in Basel by Amerbach.
2. [*2r] Guarinus Veronensis: [Letter addressed to] Valerius Florus. Incipit: ‘[N]on sine causa factum esse certo scio quod dipthonganda vocabula . . .’
3. [*2r] Guarinus Veronensis: De diphthongis. Incipit: ‘Dipthongus est duarum vocalium . . .’ See Sabbadini 48-9.
4. [*3v] [Johannes de Lapide pseudo-; Fichetus, Guilelmus]: De arte punctandi. ‘Compendiosus de arte punctandi dialogus'. Incipit: ‘[D]iscipulus. Salue magister egregie. Magister. Et tu charissime adolescens . . .’ On authorship see R‑055.
5. [*3v] ‘Tractatus de accentu'. Incipit: ‘[A]ccentus est artificiosa modulatio vocis in significatiua prolatione . . .’
6. a1r [Reuchlin, Johannes]: Vocabularius breviloquus. Incipit: ‘  “[A]aa domine deus ecce nescio . . .” Hieremie primo [Ier 1,6]. Licet istud verbum propheticum ab ipso propheta alio fine sit enarratum . . .’ See R‑055.
