Synopsis

This book presents a series of notes recorded in the early part of the sixteenth century that describe various treasured objects and works of art found in homes, churches, schools, and other religious buildings in cities the writer had visited. Discovered by Abate Don Jacopo Morelli in 1800, the manuscript was published in 1884 with extensive notes by Doctor Frizzoni and has since become an indispensable reference for art historians. The cities visited by the author include Padua, Cremona, Milan, Pavia, Bergamo, Crema, Venice, and others, and this book presents descriptions of the works of art he encountered in each locale. These notes are an invaluable primary source for scholars interested in the attribution, provenance, and history of famous works of art that continue to be admired today.
