Notes

  • -  This is a collation of the Amoretti Codex (item 119/1) with the printed edition of Vespucci's letter to Soderini as reprinted in Angelo Maria Bandini's Vita e lettere di Amerigo Vespucci (Florence, 1745). According to Giovanni Francesco Galleani Napione (see Galleani Napione, p. 24), this collation was made by Abate Carlo Amoretti, a relative of Antonio Amoretti and librarian of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan. It was through Carlo Amoretti that Napione knew of the existence of the Amoretti Codex, which he never saw and of which he did not know the whereabouts when he wrote his Esame critico in 1811. Although Carlo Amoretti's collation was made with great care, it does not include all of the variant readings of the Amoretti Codex.
