Codexes of Polerio

The work of Giulio Cesare Polerio consist exclusively in handwritten Codexes. Accordingly, there is always a single, original Codex of Giulio Cesare Polerio existant. Sanvito 2005 has organised these 8 original Codexes of Giulio Cesare Polerio both by location and by supposed age. Abbreviations 1 Sv - 8 Sv are used to refer to this organisation primarily done by supposed age. Among these 8 Codexes, one has a questionable existance/Polerio provenience (8 Sv). Another has a missing location (7 Sv = the so called "Doazan"). In doubt, reference is made to Salvio 2005 (4 Sv = Codex # 4 as organised by Sanvito 2005).
