Note 79 — Chapter X

In Cappelli, l. c. p. 303. The date of the Apology seems to be really wrong. In the register of Lorenzo’s correspondence (Ricordi di lettere scripti per Lor. de’ Med.) in the Florentine archives, we find notice of a letter written as late as February 12, 1488, ‘al conte della Mirandola, ringraziandolo dell’Apologia mandate,’ letter enclosed to Lorenzo Spinelli, one of the Medicean agents in France.
