Document Details : Title: L'informativa per il cardinale di Avignone Subtitle: Il contesto storico della cosiddetta Cronaca di Jacopo Tedaldi Author(s): MONTICINI, Francesco Journal: Byzantion Volume: 93 Date: 2023 Pages: 157-192 DOI: 10.2143/BYZ.93.0.3292488 Abstract : This article addresses the so-called Chronicle by Jacopo Tedaldi, a Florentine merchant who participated in the defence of Constantinople during the fifty-five-day Turkish siege of 1453. More details on Tedaldi’s life are presented in this study, together with the key locations where the Chronicle circulated in the summer/autumn of 1453: from the arrival of Tedaldi in Negroponte to the copying of the oldest known manuscript witness of the text at the court of Burgundy. The identity of two individuals who are named at the very beginning of the Chronicle is explored. An Italian annotated translation of the text is provided in an appendix. |
