Valagussa, Georgius In flosculis Epistolarum Ciceronis vernacula interpretatio, cum textu [Italian and Latin].
Analysis of content:
  1. A1r Valagussa, Georgius: In flosculis Epistolarum Ciceronis vernacula interpretatio. Incipit: ‘[S]ono tanti li seruitii che tu me hai facto . . .’ See G. Resta, Giorgio Valagussa umanista del quattrocento (Padua, 1964), 38-42, who refers to its manuscript appearances with the title ‘Elegantiae Ciceronianae', and preceded by a poem addressed to Johannes Antonius de Girardis of Pavia. In the heading the author is called ‘praeceptor' of [Johannes] Galeaz Sforza, Duke of Milan.
  2. A1r Cicero, Marcus Tullius: Epistolae [ad familiares: extracts] ‘Ex libro primo'. Incipit: ‘  “Tanta est magnitudo tuorum erga me meritorum” [Cic. Ad Fam. 1. 1. 1] . . .’
  3. G4r [Elephantucius], Franciscus(?): [Note on Valagussa addressed to] the reader. Incipit: ‘Rigratia, tu lector, a Francesco . . .’ Resta, Giorgio Valagussa, 39 n. 1. This version of the note attaches responsibility to Franciscus [Elephantucius], and mentions his father ‘Charolus Antonius Elephantucius Felsineus', quaestor of the public treasury, eques, and Bolognese ambassador to Johannes Galeaz Sforza, Duke of Milan. For a different version of the note, thanking Johannes Antonius de Girardis Ticinensis, in other editions see Resta, Giorgio Valagussa.
  4. G4r [Elephantucius,] Franciscus(?): [Note addressed to] the reader. Incipit: ‘Summas gratias tu lector agas Francisco . . .’ Resta, Giorgio Valagussa, 39 n. 1 Latin translation of the preceeding note.
