Abstract

After Francesco Melzi compiled it in Milan around 1540, the manuscript was undocumented for over 80 years. In 1626 it is listed among the holdings of the Della Rovere library at Casteldurante as part of the property acquired by the Papal states at the death of the last duke of Urbino, Francesco Maria Della Rovere. In 1631 it is transferred from Casteldurante to Urbino and in 1657 it entered the Biblioteca Alessandrina in Rome. Later it is transferred to the Vatican Library. The manuscript remained unknown until it was rediscovered in the Vatican library in the late eighteenth century. It was published for the first time by Guglielmo Manzi in Rome in 1817.
