Giovanni Giocondo, Collection of inscriptions
Language(s): Latin and Greek
Colophon: (fol. 224) Prothassius Cribellus Mediolanens.Pictor 1498 scripsit

The bulk of the volume (fols.17–182) contains a transcript by Protasio Crivelli, the Milanese painter, of the collection of inscriptions made by Joannes Jocundus (Giocondo) of Verona. This MS. is referred to by J. B. de Rossi (Inscr. Christ. urb. Rom. II. p. 397) as belonging to the second edition, dedicated to Ludovious de Agnellis, but in fact it has the dedication of the first edition to Lorenzo dei Medici. There follows (fol.182v) a similar collection, also in Crivelli's hand, and perhaps also a part of Giocondo's collections. This is followed (fol.224v) by additions of the same character in different hands of the 16th century. See G. Rushforth Carlo Crivelli, Lond., 1900, p. 79 note. To the main part of the ms. were added:
