[Footnote:  The late Marchese Girolamo d’Adda published a highly valuable and interesting disquisition on this passage under the title:  Leonardo da Vinci e la sua Libreria, note di un bibliofilo (Milano 1873.  Ed. di soli 75 esemplari; privately printed).  In the autumn of 1880 the Marchese d’Adda showed me a considerable mass of additional notes prepared for a second edition.  This, as he then intended, was to come out after the publication of this work of mine.  After the much regretted death of the elder Marchese, his son, the Marchese Gioachino d’Adda was so liberal as to place these MS. materials at my disposal for the present work, through the kind intervention of Signor Gustavo Frizzoni.  The following passages, with the initials G. d’A. are prints from the valuable notes in that publication, the MS. additions I have marked.  I did not however think myself justified in reproducing here the acute and interesting observations on the contents of most of the rare books here enumerated.]
