Special attention is devoted to the transmission of the texts in print, the definition of a stemma editionum, illustrations, the comparison with the manuscript tradition, and with the printed production of the later centuries. With ample use of documentary and historical bibliographical evidence, full transcription of all the calendars, and 88 plates in colour.
