Abstract

Manuscript on parchment of A collection of copies of grants and concessions made to Jacobo Probo, conte di Pianelle, from Francesco Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua (1466-1519), and his son Federico II (1500-40). The three documents of Francesco are dated 1496 (ff. 8r-10r), 1514 (ff. 6v-7v), 1516 (ff. 1r-2r); the two of Federico are dated 1519 (ff. 2v-5r) and 1526 (ff. 5v-6r). On f. 10v there is a statement by the notary "Castantius [sic] Iottus" authenticating these copies (dated 18 Oct. 1541). Two documents of Ferdinand II of Aragon, King of Sicily (1452-1516) confirming title to the property in question (ff. 11r-14r) seem to have been added later by another writer
