Rerum italicarum scriptores

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rerum italicarum scriptores ab anno æræ christianæ quingentesimo ad millesimumquingentesimum is a collection of texts which are sources for Italian history from the 6th to the 15th century, compiled in the 18th century by Ludovico Antonio Muratori.

Muratori's work became a landmark in European historiographical methodology. He set out to construct a history based on the careful accumulation and sifting of evidence. It was published between 1723 and 1751 in twenty-eight folio volumes by the Milanese Palatine Society with financial support from a number of aristocrats including Filippo Argelati and Carlo Archinto.

Writers on Italian Events
from the five-hundredth year of the Christian era
to the year fifteen-hundred,
the greater part of which is now coming to light
from the codexes
of the Ambrosian, Estense,
and other significant libraries.
Ludovico Antonio Muratori
prefect of the most serene Duke of Modena's library,
collected, organised and expanded with prefaces,
some by himself, others by associates of the
Milanese Palatine Society
from the faithfully copied manuscript codex, and with intense effort diligently corrected, and with various explanations and notes from both ancient and more recent scholars.
Adding
to a more complete work and illustration of a universal history of Italy, new geographical tables, and various lists of the Lombard Kings, Emperors, and other classes of Princes, which the same documents permit to be described, now first published or corrected, not to mention the ancient style of characters and representations of Æneas.
With the most eloquent index.

The project

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Having earlier worked in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana where he began to collect details on historic manuscripts, Muratori was employed by the Este family, Dukes of Modena, as librarian and archivist with the special duty of finding useful documents to justify the territorial claims of the family. This research gave Muratori the inspiration to widen this perspective. He developed the efforts made earlier by Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini to establish a systematic approach towards the collection of documents supporting historiography that eventually led to the birth of national histories, such as the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Germany.[1]

Much of the background to Muratori's work remains captured in his daily correspondence. Apostle Zeno [it], based at the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, had first suggested printing a collection manuscripts documenting Italian history, as Heinrich Meibom had started in Germany, "and others have done the same of those of England, France and Spain". In 1702, he and Muratori shared a list of manuscript codexes they were aware of, but Zeno was eventually appointed to the Imperial Library in Vienna and they made no further progress. The House of Este was connected to the House of Welf in Hannover, and this led to Muratori's collaboration with Gottfried Leibnitz. In 1714, Muratori began a series of visits to various libraries across Italy, furnished with letters of commendation from the Duke of Modena and King George I of Great Britain.[2]

Muratori never left Modena after 1717 and by 1719 he had amassed a collection of mainly manuscript histories ready to be printed in four volumes. He was visited by bookseller and publisher Filippo Argelati from Bologna who took up an invitation to help publish the material.

Formation of Società Palatina

[edit]

They had difficulty finding a suitable printer in Modena, and an important factor in choosing a printer was the need to avoid the censorship by the Church or the civil authorities. They considered printing in Geneva, or giving the work to Pieter van der Aa in Leiden, but were concerned about the distances involved and the transmission of the texts. They also approached the authorities in Turin, but they were slow to respond. Argelati traveled to Milan and promoted the work to Count Carlo Archinto, a prominent patron of the arts. Archinto, to raise the necessary funds, formed a society of Milanese noblemen under the name of Società Palatina, each of whom subscribed a considerable sum. Milan was also attractive due to the presence of many source texts in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana and its tradition of scholarship. With these means, Argelati was able to start production of the work, which was eventually published in 25 folio volumes (28 parts) between 1723 and 1751 in Milan. Much of the material had previously been transcribed and published, but Muratori was able to access unpublished manuscript codexes in the libraries he was associated with, and to correct earlier transcriptions. Each item was prefaced by a scholarly commentary.[2]

Creating a printing house

[edit]

Although Muratori and Argelati had chosen Milan for the production of the work, it did not have a printing industry: there was no-one skilled in engraving or capable of casting the typefaces. The subscribers' funds were used to create a printing works from scratch and Governor Colloredo provided space for the presses within the royal palace. In order to ensure that they remained independent of the Holy Office, they could not source the type from Venice, which was the centre of printing in Italy, so new type was cast with matrices procured from Holland. Argelati was an experienced publisher and promoter, and his skills and self-belief drove the project forward, though not without tension with his colleagues. This was partly due to his poor administration which obscured the true financial commitment of his aristocratic sponsors. By February 1722 a few proof pages had been printed to everyone's satisfaction. Good quality paper had been sourced locally, though it was a challenge to acquire the quantities they needed. A major fire broke out in the palace at the end of 1723 and although they managed to rescue the presses, some of the printed sheets were damaged.

We have lost a great many typefaces, various sheets, and the greatest damage is not being able to print for some time, and meanwhile having to pay the men.

— Argetati to Muratori, 22 Dec 1723

In February 1725 they were still suffering from a shortage of typeface and were able to operate only two of their three presses. Local flooding had also destroyed the paper mill and it took several years to return to full production.

These financial pressures led to calls for the more interesting codexes to be published immediately, but Muratori stuck to his policy of placing them in chronological order and including texts which had already been transcribed and printed by others to create a complete record. His main problem was the delays involved in achieving access to the source materials, but he thought it better to keep to the chronological thread throughout the whole series and accommodate delayed chronicles by adding a second part to some of the volumes.[2]

Difficulties accessing the texts

[edit]

At the time, Italy was partitioned into many states, some autonomous and others subject to Vienna, Spain, Savoy and the Pope. Not all libraries were allowed to contribute to the project, and even so there was a risk that the manuscripts (or their transcripts) would be stolen or seized by customs officials when in transit. Some sources demanded hefty bonds in case of loss, and in other cases they were transmitted under diplomatic protection. In Milan the project had the sponsorship of the emperor (Charles VI) and the governor (Hieronymus von Colloredo). Each of the principal supporters eventually had a volume dedicated to them, including the republics of Genoa and Lucca and Venice. Despite entreaties to the authorities in Turin, including the promise of a volume dedicated to the Savoy monarch, access to Istoria di Saluzzo was denied as "the chronicle was written by a pen in those partial times of the ancient margraves of Saluzzo, implacable enemies of the Royal House of Savoy".[2]

Avoiding censorship

[edit]

The discovery of the printing press has ... been a great impediment, in certain countries, to the truth, which once came out more freely in manuscripts.

— L.A. Muratori, Riflessioni sopra il buon gusto, 1708.

Although Muratori was a deeply religious man and inclined to defer to the ecclesiastical and civil authorities, he also deplored the abuses of censorship. He had earlier experienced problems getting his work published in Venice and had to turn to Paris. (He had been also criticised by the Inquisitor of Modena for dedicating a work to "the heretic King George of England".[note 1]) Some of his collaborators thought that the volumes should be submitted to the Governor and the Holy Office, but Muratori responded that "truth and sincerity are the soul of history" and was diligent in ensuring that nothing had been altered in the printing process. Eutropius' Roman history (Vol. 1) was less than complementary about some of the popes, and after the first two volumes had been released the Roman Curia recommended that they should be banned. Muratori worked patiently behind the scenes with the archbishop and the governor to get the Curia to withdraw the demand.[2]

Use of the vernacular

[edit]

There was also a debate whether to publish only Latin translations of vernacular texts, and it was agreed to use translations where the vernacular, such as Venetian or Neapolitan, was difficult even for Italians to read.

An important principle for Muratori was that all texts should be reassessed where multiple sources were available, and this included previously published material. Many communities were concerned that their versions might be undermined and give advantage to a competing community, and from time to time the civil authorities had to instruct monastic libraries to cooperate. The work itself was very time-consuming and relied, in the main, on voluntary contributions.[2]

Authenticity

[edit]

Muratori was well aware that many ancient manuscripts were, in fact, forgeries. Daniel Paperbroch, drafting the Bollandist Acta Sanctorum, set the rules of forensic paleography and Jean Mabillon in De re diplomatica (1681) showed the way through the obscure forest of written sources. Muratori was aware that "no age, no kingdom ever existed in Europe in the past, which could boast of being immune to impostors using the written word". When he personally carried out the work of transcription, collation, and critical edition, he rarely made mistakes, but when he was forced to rely on the collaboration of local scholars and could not scrutinise documents with his own eyes he incurred some errors. He was taken in by certain southern forgers who were keen to protect the reputation of their states and cities. Giovanni Bernardino Tafuri (1695–1760), a well-educated nobleman from Nardò, succeeded in fobbing off Muratori with two outright forgeries, the Ragionamento (Reasoning) of Angelo Tafuri of Nardò and the Chronicon Neritinum.[3]

Maps

[edit]

Muratori's opening preface promises three innovative maps:

  • "in the time of the aging Roman Empire" (published in Vol. 1);
  • “in, as they say, the Middle Ages, including of course the Lombard kingdom” (Vol. 10); and
  • “the restored fortunes of the Italians under the Emperors and the other Italian princes” (not published).

Muratori states that the foldout map at the front of Vol. 10 shows "at a glance" Italy under the Lombard and Frankish kings with new provinces and cities having been established, and ancient castles, towns, and cities blotted out. It is known to have been drawn by Gasparo Beretti and is complemented by a dissertatio chorographica about medieval Italy. Beretti's map has room for much detail. It mirrors many moments, rather than just one, of the period it is designed to portray but is rich in information and guidance about the boundaries separating the diverse entities present in early medieval Italy. Lombard and Byzantine duchies are there, along with the eastern and western parts of the Lombard kingdom and the Byzantine Exarchate and south Italian possessions.[4]

Legacy

[edit]

Muratori's project to collect, edit and publish key source documents from the Middle Ages in chronological order was copied by other nations.

In Germany, the Monumenta Germaniae Historica was published in Hanover with the first volume appearing in 1826, edited by Georg Heinrich Pertz and subsequently Georg Waitz. It is a comprehensive series of primary sources, both chronicle and archival, covering Northwestern and Central European history from the end of the Roman Empire to 1500.

In Britain, the Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain and Ireland during the Middle Ages (Latin: Rerum Britannicarum medii aevi scriptores), widely known as the Rolls Series, a major collection of British and Irish historical materials and primary sources, was published with government support in 253 volumes between 1858 and 1911.

Second Series (RIS2)

[edit]

In 1900 a new edition (Rerum italicarum scriptores: Raccolta degli storici italiani dal cinquecento al millecinquecento, ordinata da L. A. Muratori, nuova edizione riveduta ampliata e corretta) was undertaken at the instigation of Giosuè Carducci, and continued by the Istituto storico italiano per il Medio Evo (Italian Historical Institute for the Middle Ages – "ISIME") under the direction of Pietro Fedele. It was published by Casa Editrice Scipione Lapi in Città di Castello from 1900 to 1917 (Lapi himself died in 1903) and then by Nicola Zanichelli in Bologna until 1975.

The numbering of the volumes follows the original series, but many volumes extend to multiple parts as they incorporate the original material plus commentaries by the new editors and extensive indexes, glossaries and bibliographies. Sections were released in instalments (it: fascolo), intended to be bound by the purchaser into complete volumes. In consequence, some volumes accessible via the Internet Archive are incomplete or, occasionally, incorrectly collated. The copies in the ISMIE library are most accurate and are available online via Biblioteca europea di informazione e cultura.

For many volumes publication dates are quoted for both the first and latest instalment as the final instalments, with detailed indexes, were often released many years later. In total, 117 volumes were published made up from 398 instalments. Publication terminated in 1975 leaving some volumes incomplete.[92]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ There is an anonymous letter to the Inquisitor of Modena reproaching him for his laxity in not referring two of Muratori's works to the Holy Office; the 'scandalous' Antichità Estensi (Antiquity of the house of Este) dedicated to the 'heretic King George of England and illegitimate possessor and usurper of those kingdoms'; and the other 'much worse' work De ingeniorum moderatione ... (On the moderation of reason in religious matters), 'full of heresies, beginning with the title'.[2]
  2. ^ Giovanni Giacomo Spinelli was a surveyor, cartographer and engraver who worked in Udine and the region between 1662 and 1714. His drawings range from hydraulics to structures as well as maps.[5]

  5. ^ Murqus al-Du'äbilï al-Kurdï (c. 1572 – 1654), known in Spain as Marcos Dobelio, was probably an muslim convert to christianity of Kurdish origin who had lived for some time in Aleppo, He taught Arabic at the University of La Sapienza in Rome in about 1597. He worked in Granada from 1610.[11]
  6. ^ Theodosius of Syracuse, a grammarian (teacher) and monk as evidenced on the Greek title of the work: Θεοδοσίου μοναχοῦ τοῦ καὶ γραμματικοῦ ἐπιστολὴ πρὸς Λέοντα ἀρχιδιάκονον περὶ τῆς ἁλώσεως Συρακούσης.
  7. ^ From Greek: 'things omitted'

  11. ^ Gaspare Pontani (fl. 1468–1515) lived in Rome in the Ponte district, and was a Capitoline notary (Notario del Nantiporto). The identification of Pontani escaped Muratori and was established by Diomede Toni in 1907 (see RIS2, Vol. 3 Part 2, below).
  12. ^ The diary covers the pontificates of Sixtus IV and Innocent VIII and covers the violence between the Colonna and Orsini factions, especially in the author's neighbourhood.
  13. ^ Francesco Maria Fiorentini (1603–1673) was a doctor in Lucca known for his sanitary advice to the city which helped combat the 1630 plague. His Memorie della gran contessa Matilde was an early modern contribution to medieval history.[26]

  26. ^ A patriotic-historical epic poem on Pisa's wars in the period 1315–42. Written in eight short books of quantitative Latin hexameters. Muratori called the poemcaliginosum (murky), but his text was based on a faulty transcription of the manuscript.[34]
  27. ^ Tiepolo attribution by the Frick Collection[35]
  28. ^ Philological analysis carried out by Alessando Lissini for RIS2 Vol. 15 Part 6 (see below) revealed that it is a 17th century text. Benvoglienti relied on the attribution to Andrea Dei by the antiquarian Celso Cittadini, and Muratori trusted his judgement.[36]
  29. ^ Daniele di Chinasso, a good and apparently accurate writer, of whom nothing is known except that he was a native of Treviso and was living at Venice during the war of Chioggia.[37]
  30. ^ Nothing is known of di Musso (14th–15th century); his Chronicon Placentinum or Historia de nobilibus mundi covers the history of Piacenza and Lombardy and is copied in parts from the chronicle of Pietro da Ripalta.[39]
  31. ^ Zomino di ser Bonifazio (1387–1458), who preferred the Hellenized name Sozomeno, was a notable figure in fifteenth-century humanism. He studied Greek under Guarino da Verona in Florence, attended the Council of Constance, where he profited from the exciting discoveries of ancient manuscripts by Poggio Bracciolini and others, taught Latin poetry and rhetoric in Pistoia and Florence, wrote commentaries on several Roman poets, and starteda mammoth historical work, Chronicon universale. Above all, however, he collected and annotated ancient texts in both Latin and Greek, amassing well over a hundred volumes, which he left to serve as a public library.[40]
  32. ^ Galeazzo Gatari (c. 1344 – 1405) was an apothecary and leading citizen in Padua and active on behalf of the Carraresi dynasty. His Chronicon, written in the vernacular, was edited by his son Bartolomeo and completed by his eldest son, Andrea (c. 1370 – 1454)[41]
  33. ^ Giorgio Stella (c. 1365 – 1420), was a Genoa notary who extended the Chronicon januense of Jacobus de Voragine, and the earlier Annales Ianuenses of Caffaro to create a semi-official chronicle of the city.[42]
  34. ^ The abbey of St. Peter St Andrew of Ripalta (Rivalta) was an abbey situated close to Turin.[43]
  35. ^ Pietro Gazata (1335–1414) abbot of San Prospero, Reggio Emilia. In 1362 he accompanied Guillaume de Grimoard to Avignon on his election as pope Urban V and was appointed abbot the following year. His chronicle is based heavily on the Gesta Lombardiæ of his uncle, Sagacino Levalossi, a largely eyewitness account of contemporary affairs over the years 1303–35.[44]
  36. ^ Matthaeus de Griffonibus (1351–1426), a notary from a leading Bologna family, had an important chancery post and in 1385 he became a member of the Consiglio dei Quattrocento.

  37. ^ Bartolomeo della Pugliola (c. 1358 – c. 1424) from the friary of San Francesco in Bologna, had studied at the Studium generale in Florence. His Le Antichità di Bologna relies heavily on the lost chronicle of his contemporary Jacopo Bianchetti, the chronicles of Pietro and Floriano Villola and the Memoriale of Matteo Griffoni.[46]
  38. ^ Sercambi's Le chroniche di parte e de' facti di Lucha commenced with Lucca's emancipation from Pisa by Charles IV in 1369 and ended with his death from the plague in 1424.[47]
  39. ^ a b The Capponi were an established Florentine family. Gino de Neri Capponi (1350–1421), a merchant and writer, was a prominent supporter of Rinaldo degli Albizzi and played a key role in the Florentine conquest of Pisa in 1406, but his banker son Neri Capponi (1388–1457) supported Cosimo de' Medici, helping him to return from exile in 1434 and becoming a leading figure in the Medici regime, second only to Cosimo.[48][49]
  40. ^ a b Lodrisio Crivelli (c.1412 – c.1471) graduated in law and served the Archbishops of Milan until 1443, learning Greek and studying the classics. He then taught in Bologna and other cities, including Milan. His poems and essays include statements which seem to support the Sforza seizure of Milan and by 1456 he was undertaking diplomatic assignments for the duke. He was also close to Enea Piccolomini who became Pius II. By 1463 he had fallen out with Sforza and taken refuge in Rome.[50]
  41. ^ Andreas de Reduciis de Quero (1365–1442) of the wealthy Redusio family from Quero in the Venito was educated at the University of Padua then worked as a notary in Treviso. He entered Venetian service as a soldier. From 1417 to 1442 he served as the chancellor of Treviso.[51]

  43. ^ Giovanni Bandino de Bartolomei was a Sienese jurist who lectured in civil law and acted for the Sienese government. In 1389, he helped to form an alliance of Tuscan cities against the condottieri. He commenced his narration of local events in 1402. After 1422 it was continued intermittently by his great-grandson Francesco Tommasi until 1468, and by Pietro Rossi for the period 1429–1435. Francesco Piccolomini, when archbishop of Siena, drew these together to form Historia senensis.[53]
  44. ^ Uberto Benvoglienti, a contemporary of Muratori and described as having a "brilliant intellect", headed the University of Siena and was responsible for discovering and transcribing many historical documents.[54]
  45. ^ a b Porcellio Pandone was born in Naples at the turn of the 15th century but educated in Rome supported by Otto Colonna (later Martin V). He was exiled in 1434 after the uprising against Pope Eugene IV and emerged in 1443 as "secretary and poet" to Alfonso of Aragon in Naples. In 1453 he was sent by Alfonso to Venice to write a Commentarii in the style of Livy on the war between Jacopo Piccinino and Francesco Sforza. He fell out with the Neapolitan court but returned briefly under Ferranti I before moving back to Rome working for Sixtus IV in 1473.[55]

  49. '^ Polismagna was the pseudonym of a copyist and translator in the Ferrara court, sometimes confused with Carlo da San Giorgio.[60]
  50. ^ Giovanni Simonetta joined the camp of Francesco Sforza in 1444 and rose to ducal secretary in the chancellery at the heart of the Sforza administration. In the 1470s he began writing his record of the career of Sforza (Commentarii de rebus gestis Francisci Sfortiae) but had to rely on other sources prior to his personal involvement.[61]
  51. ^ Cristoforo da Soldo (d. 1470) was active in the administration of Brescia from 1427 and, among other things, responsible for improving the defences of the city against the incursions of Milan.[62]
  52. ^ Guerriero Campioni (d. 1480) became a notary in 1429 but took part in various military campaigns in Tuscany before serving Guidantonio da Montefeltro duke of Urbino in military and diplomatic missions. He accompanied the young Federico da Montefeltro when combined forces with Niccolò Piccinino in Lombardy in 1438. In between campaigns, Guerriero was based in Gubbio as Frederico's chancellor. He was frequently involved in diplomatic missions to other cities, but by 1467 he was permanently in Gubbio.[63]
  53. ^ Adamo di Montaldo was born in Genoa but first recorded studying at the court of Alfonso in Naples in 1457 to be an Augustinian monk. He was back in Genoa by 1464, where eventually he was responsible for reforming the local monastery. This caused some upset among his superiors and by 1497 he was in Rome. He was pursued by some of his accused and briefly arrested, but was protected by Pope Innocent VIII. He was stabbed to death in 1494 after a sermon in which he criticised the controversial Pope Alexander VI.[64]
  54. ^ a b Pietro Cirneo (Pietro Felce or in Latin Petrus Cyrnæus) (1447–1506), was a priest and historian of Corsican origin.

He studied Greek and Latin in Venice and working in the Venito, eventually retiring to a parish in Corsica.[65]
  55. ^ Tristano Caracciolo, (c. 1437 – 1522) was from an established but impoverished Neapolitan family and had little education until he was 35. His many historical biographies were influenced by his noble origin and personal experiences.[66]

He was involved in missions to Cosimo de' Medici and Francesco Sforza and through these contacts became chancellor of Volterra from 1466 until 1471 when he fell out with powerful local interests over the management of the valuable alum mines. This was a precursor to the siege of Volterra by Florence. Over 700 of his letters have survived, capturing his views on current events, but he also studied and recorded local Etruscan archeology.[68]
  59. ^ Jacopo Gherardi (1434–1516) was born in Volterra into a wealthy family, and although he trained in Florence as a banker, he entered holy orders. He served in Siena and then Rome and was secretary to Jacopo Piccolomini-Ammannati until the cardinal died in 1479. He then worked closely with Sixtus IV, helping to build up the Vatican Library. On Sixtus' death (1484), he retired briefly to Volterra before being drawn back into papal service as a diplomat. In 1492 retired again to Volterra, and wrote his Diarium.[69]
  60. ^ Raimo was a Neapolitan family with close connections to the court.

Cronica gestorum ac factorum memorabilium civitatis Bononiæ (Chronicle of the events and memorable facts of the city of Bologna) is an annalistic chronicle from the foundation of Bologna to 1497.[74]
  65. ^ Muratori notes: The remaining works, which are to be published here, have reached my hands later than anticipated. They were meant to be included in the previous volumes, following a chronological order, as much as possible, but it seemed necessary to postpone their inclusion. I had indeed planned to publish them in the Appendix of my Italic Middle Ages Antiquities, which I have prepared for publication. However, this final volume of Italian Affairs preempted their inclusion to avoid the perception of leaving it significantly thinner than the preceding volumes.
  66. ^ Adrien Valois or Adrien de Valois (1607–1692), brother of Henri Valois, was a French historian and poet. He was appointed royal historian in 1664.
  67. ^ Guido di Vallechia (d. before 1315) was a respected Pisan judge and diplomat who went on to become an Augustinian canon and priest. Guido's three Libri memoriales are not strictly speaking a chronicle. The first is a list of his father's vassals and territories; the second is a record of events in the family territories in 1270–90; and the third consists of copies of legal and other documents relating to the family possessions.[75]
  68. ^ Nicolaus of Ferrara or Nicolaus Ferrariensis (d.c. 1390 became abbot of the Benedictine abbey of San Bartolomeo, near Ferrara.

  71. ^ Little is known of Antonio di Pietro dello Schiavo other than he was born in Rome and there is no record of him after 1428. The first page of the manuscript of the Diarium romanum is damaged, thus concealing his full name, but scholars have identified him as Dello Schiavo.[79]
  72. ^ The Diarium covers a period of political instability in Rome from 19 October 1404 and the arrival of Ladislaus of Naples to bring help to the Roman population. The major events during fifteen years of important change that followed are described with meticulous detail, the last of which contained the election of Pope Martin V and the end of the Western Schism.[80]

  76. ^ Giuseppe Bini (1689–1773), priest and scholar from Friuli, was connected to the Collorado family and was secretary to Girolamo di Colloredo, imperial governor of Milan, when he began corresponding with Muratori. In 1726 Colloredo died suddenly and Bini found himself assigned to the Bassa Friulana parish of Flambro where he worked on historical documents from the region.

He would have associated with other prominent courtiers; Pier Candido Decembrio, Francesco Filelfo (who also composed an oration for the funeral) and Georgius Merula. His name occasionally appears in letters and dedications of the time.[88]
  83. ^ Leonardo Griffi (c. 1440 – 1485) was a poet attached to the Sforza court. His poem recounting the defeat of Braccio da Montone at the hands of the very young Francesco Sforza was judged by Girolamo Tiraboschi to be "one of the best poems published in that century". Under Sforza sponsorship he was secretary to Francesco Della Rovere throughout his term as Pope Sixtus IV and subsequently to Innocent VIII.[89]
  84. ^ A history of Venice from its founding to 1358, commonly attributed to Piero di Giustiniano Giustinian. The earlier part of the chronicle is dependent on earlier Venetian histories, especially the Chronica brevis of Andrea Dandolo.[90]
