Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... extremely interesting, as showing the manners and customs of the time; and we cannot but feel that an age which could have crowded into so short a space so many scenes replete with life and colour, with dignity and magnificence, must be worthy of our study, and in many respects of our imitation. Romanino, the reputed author of the frescoes, was born ten years after the events which they portray. He must, therefore, have worked from the family records of what occurred, although in his own age the life of chivalry was not altogether dead. It is more probable, however, that they were executed by one of his pupils, and in any case they have been since injudiciously repainted and restored. the end. index. page abbondio, don-54 Aborte (Jacopo) 22 Acciaiuoli (Angelo) 3 Acciaiuoli family 3 Adda 1, 2, 8, 10, 18, 19, 24, 27, 28, 33 Adige " Adolf viii 57 Adorno I5 17 Alan, Cardinal of Avignon 39 Albert (Margrave).66 Alessandria 19. 23 z8 29 Alfonso, King M of Aragon S 6, 9 Alfonzo of Naples 26,28 coin of........... 56 Alps 1, 47 Ambrosian Republic 18, 23, 25 Amidei 50 Anghiari 17 Anjou 5 9 38 40 arms 46 Duke of 45 Rene" of.
