- This c.130,000 word monograph is the result of extensive research in over 50 museums, libraries, and sites across Europe over the course of more than 10 years, including 12 months of archival work. Rigorous research was conducted in archives in Italy (Modena, Mantua, Milan, Florence, Ferrara, Naples), Spain (Valencia), and France (Paris). The monograph relies heavily on the author’s own transcriptions and translations of previously unpublished inventories, letters, and diplomatic documents in fifteenth-century Catalan, French, Latin, Spanish and Italian dialects. Often uncatalogued and in poor condition, many of these documents require palaeographic skills to decipher.
