Summary

This manuscript is a commission issued by Leonardo Loredan, doge of Venice from 1501 to 1521, addressed to Andrea Valerio, concerning Valerio's duties, rights, and obligations while holding the position of podestà (civil administrator) of Piran, a mainland community in Slovenia under Venetian control. The first folio is elaborately illuminated with classical elements surrounding a text block with a background painted as a torn sheet of parchment; the remaining text, written in a humanistic cursive hand, is undecorated and concludes with a sentence in a second hand recording that it was issued from the dogal palace on 19 October 1502. The dogale text, in Latin, is followed by a few texts and accounts in Italian.
