Editor's Notes:
At the same time the Boston Public Library gave these two works to the Venice Archive, it also gave a published book from 1590, to the Library Cardinal Ludovico II De Torres, in Monreale, Italy (case separately indexed in this database). Returned to confraternites from which they were stolen. Manuscript book and page returned to the manuscript collection of the Scuola di Santa Maria della Misericordia. https://www.associatesbpl.org/2023/12/12/home-again-the-repatriation-of-a-stolen-venetian-manuscript/
