Summary
History of Padua in the 14th and early 15th centuries. Apparently condensed from a larger version (cf. Muratori, Rerum italicarum scriptores, v. XVII).
Notes
- Ms. codex.
- Title from Zacour-Hirsch. Title on spine: Cronica di Andrea Gataro Padovano. Subtitle (f. 1): Esilio, peregrinatione, e pericoli di M. Francesco Novello [Franciscus Il Carrariensis], e sua fameggia da carrara fino alla ritornata in stato.
- Incipit: [Ri] Cordo sotto brevità.... (f. 1r).
- Bottom of f. 121 cut out. This is probably one of several copies (cf. Bibl. Marciana, Ms. Ital. VI, f. 246-248), which copied the explicit of the prototype: Taken from a copy lent by Count Giovanni de Zagasa and copied by Daniele delli Vitiliani...1614....The cut-out following this explicit suggests that further information on the preparation of this copy was removed, presumably to make it appear as if this were the copy of Daniele.
