Notes:
Szépe attributes the illumination to Benedetto Bordon, and speculates that the Mocenigo family ordered and subsequently rejected this copy. Cf. Szépe, Helena K., Bordon, Dürer and modes of illuminating Aldines, in Aldus Manutius and renaissance culture, edited by David S. Zeidberg, Olschki, 1998.
