説明 | Institutio data a Leonardo Loredano duce Venetiarum Petro Fusculo in Rectorem insulae Caneae (Cretae). Circa 1510-1520.Tempera, gold, and ink on parchment. Rare Book Collection, Yale Law Library. MssJ V53 no.1 v.6 (Rare26 11-0287 v.6).In this elaborately decorated Ducal Commission, it is unclear whom Doge Leonardo Loredan (r. 1501-1521) originally appointed governor of Chania, Crete, because the name we see, "Petro Fuscolo," was evidently written over an erasure. The coat of arms in the lower margin is indeed that of the Foscolo family, but this too could cover an erasure. From contemporary documents we know that a certain Petro Foscolo was appointed governor of Riva del Garda (in northeast Italy) by the same doge in the early 1500s. Like the title pages of the other Ducal Commissions shown nearby, this one includes the winged Lion of Saint Mark in the upper cartouche. To the right and left of the spacious text block are Saint Luke and his Ox, which suggests that this Evangelist Saint was important to whomever was originally appointed. |
