Description
Summary:In the first section, Serena Spanò Martinelli paints a picture of 15th century Milanese multi-facets writer Mombrizio. His various cultural interests, ranging from philology, to poetry, to history, side-to-side, sided with his activity as a civil servant for the Sforza government. He became increasingly aware of the potential of the newly invented press technology: his studies peak in the Sanctuarium, the first hagiographic collection directly designed for the press. In the second section, Michela Ventriglia recalls the documents relating to Mombrizio preserved in the Archivio di Stato of Milan and she publishes his will in full. This was known, but its contents, written in challenging notary writing, had not been analysed. It reveals someone different from the scholar that he projected in his writings: a caring father and husband, a wealthy citizen allocating funds to Ospedale Nuovo and to Fabbrica del Duomo, showing close links with the recent institutions of Observant Mendicant Friars.
