From the British Academy description:
- Published Information: See See Scholz Unbekannte, p. 143; Etzkorn, Iter, pp. 88-9. Scholz dates Vc to the 15th century, Etzkorn to the 14th. According to Miethke, "Marsilius und Ockham", p. 559, n. 54, the illuminations in this volume are the work of either Antonio Maria Sforza or Martino da Medina, who were active from the 1470s; the border of fol. 1r includes in the bottom margin the della Rovere coat of arms, and the inital letter shows a Francisan handing a book, i.e. this volume, to a pope---the donor has been identified as Bartolomeo della Rovere OFM, bishop of Ferrara 1474-1494, and the recipient as his uncle, Pope Sixtus IV, Francesco della Rovere OFM, pope 1471-1484. Thus Vc was probably produced in the 1470s.
- Observations: Decorated first page or work and first page of each Book (e.g. 1r, 5r, 16r, 20v, 30r), decorated initials. Vc and Vf appear to be written by the same scribe (see Vf below). Corrections in several hands. Like Vf (see below) in treatment of catchwords (10v, 20v) and beginnings of gatherings (11r, 21r). Gatherings of 10 folios.
- The Tabula contained in this MS is also contained in Vf, Ox and Av.
- Collation shows that Vc belongs to the family that includes Ox Av Vf.
