Summary

Letters from Cardinal Francesco Maria de'Medici concern relations between the imperial court, the Tuscan court, and the Papal court, where Francesco appears to have conducted some negotiations as a representative of the Holy Roman Empire. Some of the letters are personal and emotional in tone as there appears to have been a personal friendship between Montauti and Cardinal Francesco Maria de'Medici (cf. Ms. Codex 536 for other letters from this period).
