Milanese provenance documented by watermark

See detailed description and analysis Hide full record

Analysis
The watermark is similar to the watermark found in M2 and in MM, thus suggesting the Milanese provenance of the manuscript and a date ot the first half of the 17th century, probably in connection with the editorial work carried out by Galeazzo Arconati between 1634 and 1639 (Barone 2011).
