    "description": "An anonymous vernacular Italian translation and expansion of Martin of Opava's Chronicle of popes and emperors, recording events through the papal election of Sixtus IV in 1471, and with a particular focus on events in northeastern Italy. These events include Frederick II's sack of Vicenza in 1236, the Venetian conquests of Padua (1405) and Brescia (1439), as well as the Battle of Negroponte (1470). In this version, the papal and imperial histories are maintained in separate sequences.",

        "Origin: Based on the latest entry, which describes the election of Pope Sixtus IV, this copy was likely produced in approximately 1472, and certainly no earlier than 1471. Contents, as well as script, dialect, and watermark evidence suggest that the manuscript was produced in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. Possibly written and/or copied by Dom Lodovigo da Cha da Fan, prior of San Vito in Vicenza, who is listed as the creator, in the first person, in an inscription on the inserted parchment leaf (fol. 133)."
