Description:
|
"Unpublished, unrecorded, and incontestably authentic treatise on the Virtues and Vices that includes a curious eighteenth-century forgery of its medieval provenance. The manuscript is part of a small group of codices whose authorship was falsely attributed to real historical Riminese characters, here Cardinal Gozio Battagliani (c. 1270-1348), and dedicated to members of the famous Malatesta family, here Galeotto Malatesta (1305-1385) of Rimini. Other manuscripts similarly forged are known, and others could still surface."--Dealer description. The forgeries could be attributed to Giovanni Maria Belmonti Stiviv.
