Lehigh Codex 21 Dogale

About this Paged Content

This manuscript is a commission issued by Leonardo Loredan, doge of Venice from 1501 to 1521, addressed to Andrea Valerio, concerning Valerio's duties, rights, and obligations while holding the position of podestà€ (civil administrator) of Piran, a mainland community in Slovenia under Venetian control. The first folio is elaborately illuminated with classical elements surrounding a text block with a background painted as a torn sheet of parchment; the remaining text, written in a humanistic cursive hand, is undecorated and concludes with a sentence in a second hand recording that it was issued from the dogal palace on 19 October 1502. The dogale text, in Latin, is followed by a few texts and accounts in Italian.
