[117] Cronica di Napoli di Notar Giacomo, pubbl. da P. Garzilli, Naples, 1845, p. 100. Giovan. Pietro Cagnola, Storia di Milano (‘Cronache Milanesi,’ in the Arch. stor. ital. iii. Flor. 1842), informs us (p. 170) of Don Federigo’s arrival and the causes of the delay of the wedding, which was connected with Jacopo Piccinino’s affairs (see below, p. 219). Ippolita arrived on September 14 at Naples, after having waited two months in Siena, till her father permitted her to proceed. (Cronica di Notar Giacomo, 112; Cagnola, 171.)

[119] Luigi Pulci’s letter, see Roscoe, App. ix., but more correct in the Lettere di Luigi Pulci a Lorenzo il Magnifico e ad altri (edited by Salvatore Bongi), Lucca, 1868, p. 1. There are various notices of the writer here, but unfortunately no notes to the letters, which are often unintelligible, and will probably remain so, in spite of all notes, with regard to various persons mentioned.
