note: Gall3 = ‘Donna esto mio lamento, vinitiana’.

note: CattinR, 33. See links to other laude, esp. ‘Anima benedetta’ and ‘L’amor a me venendo’, both with extant musical settings.

note: of the various Corpus Christi texts and melodies that may have been known to the compiler of Ch266, only two are formally compatible with ‘Ave Corpus Christ natum’: ‘Verbum supernum prodiens’ and (the more likely and widely known) ‘Lauda Sion salvatorem’.

note: on Piero & family see WilsonHM, passim, and laude by Piero di Mariano Muzi. In Ch266, see also 66r: ‘A laude sia del Padre onipotente, traslazione del Vangelo del vitello sagginato, Piero di Mariano borsaio fiorentino’ [ottava rima].

note: ‘Benotto’, frequently misread in secondary literature as ‘Benolio’, is surely a reference to the northern singer and composer Benoctus de Francia (Benoit, Benottus, Benedictus Sirede), who was a singing master for the laudesi company of Orsanmichele beginning in 1436, and after 1439 the first chapel master at the Florentine cathedral until he left Florence in 1448; WilsonMM, 84-5; Pamela Starr, NGD, ‘Benoit’.

note: Ch266 ‘Ballata’

note: cc. incipit incorrectly transcribed as ‘Viva fiamma’ in LuisiLG, i, 247. See ‘Viva Jesù’ as a cc., also. Lauda text entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448.

note: cc. incipit probably refers to ‘Virgo Maria beata/de’ peccator conforto’, in many other cc. sources, including Gall3 (without a cc indication).
