Excerpt from The Anonimo: Notes on Pictures and Works of Art in Italy Made by an Anonymous Writer

The manuscript of which this is a translation consists of a series of notes, made in the early part of the sixteenth century, concerning pictures and other treasures contained in various houses, and monuments and works of art in churches, schools, and other ecclesiastical buildings in the cities which the writer had visited.

It was discovered by the Abate Don Jacopo Morelli in 1800 amongst the Marciana manuscripts, a collection formed by Apostolo Zeno, a poet and literary man of Venice, who was born in 1668 and died in 1750, and who, after collecting together a famous series of manuscripts, left them to the Dominicans of the Osservanza.

This manuscript which records the opinions of the day as to the artists and sculptors who had executed the works in question, was at once recognized by the Abate Morelli as of great intrinsic value, and by royal permission he published it in 1800.
