Errata, p. [238]

Binding: later vellum; title written at head of spine

Flyleaf from earlier binding preserved, written on both sides in Italian. The inscriptions continue onto the margins of p. [3]-[17] of preliminaries. They are headed by the date 1687; the writer's name followed but has been scratched out (P?... R... da Reggio). The inscriptions take the form of journal entries noting the arrival of pilgrims in Reggio Emilia in 1596, the year of the initial miracle of the Madonna della Ghiara
