Abstract (en)

Explores the themes and mid-14th-c. historical context of Villani's Nuova cronica, noting his ability at placing local events in Florence in an international context. Observes that the 243 vignettes in the only extant illuminated manuscript (i.e., MS Chigi L.VIII.296, Rome, Biblioteca apostolica vaticana) of Villani's chronicle interpret the author's civic and ideological views so accurately, that Susanna Partsch's hypothesis that Villani himself supervised the program and execution of the illuminations seems extremely probable.
