Summary:
Two works copied in one hand, Dell'Istoria di Dati, in 10 books, covers the dates 1380 to 1405 (not 1440 as per title page), and is preceded by an index, (f. 9r-11r). Dati's history focuses on Milan as well as Florence, i.e., wars of Milan-Verona, Milan-Florence, Milan-Mantua, then the struggles of the Florentines within Tuscany. Heading for second work: Memorie storiche di Francesco Cei, (f. 96r-203r). This work covers dates from 1494 to 1523 and has an unfinished alphabetical index to names at the end. Modern note in pencil in margin of p. 149 (f. 170v) suggests that several parts of Cei are copied from Guicciardini's history.
