Notes:

note: ‘La canzona de’ visi addietro’, Laurentian carnival song for 1490. MaceyB, 33, 38,145; MaceyLC, 477-8. Text ed. BruscagliTCC, i, 23-4; OrvietoCC, 85-6 (where title is ‘Canzona de’visi addrieto’, and incipit ‘Le cose al contradio vanno’). Penned into the margin of R196 is ‘f. mascherata’. The music and text in BR230 occupies the last extant folio, and is mutilated (some text, and music for the soprano part remain); both BecheriniCCat, 67-8 and GhisiCC, 96, 190 identified this song as Jacopo da Bientina’s ‘Canto di uomini che vanno col viso volto di dietro’, but from the remaining text it is possible to identify this as Lorenzo’s Canzona de’ visi addrieto’.
