Re: Franco Pratesi: translations of old but fundamental articles

Well, I do have another from this series, one that was my first translation effort for Franco, back in 2016. Even as corrected by Franco then, I see now that there is much room for improvement. So you get a newly corrected translation of "1499-1506: Firenze – Nuove informazioni sulle carte fior...

The last in the present series is one that I have already translated once, in 2016, and now forgot that I had done so. This translation is probably slightly better and more readable, so I include it with the others here. It is of "1377: Firenze – Condanne ai giocatori di naibi," dated Oct....

Re: Franco Pratesi: translations of old but fundamental articles

Now comes another series of notes, these all from 2015, the time immediately before I started translating Franco's notes and articles. The first one is a translation of "1542: Arrone - trionfi grandi," at https://naibi.net/A/409-ARRONE-Z.pdf. Comments in square brackets are mine, in consul...
