Note 212 — Chapter XXXI
Reading edition
The sumptuous and lavish festivities of the age, and the extent to which art was combined with classical associations in public displays, may be estimated from Corio's elaborate description of the reception at Rome, in 1473, of Duchess Leonora of Ferrara, with her suite, including 60,000 horses. *Cf. Annalisti di Tisi, quoted by Corvisieri, q.v. in Archivio Romano, vol. I.; Il Trionfo Romano di Eleanora d'Aragona. Creighton, op. cit., vol. IV., pp. 75-77, gives a splendid sketch of his life.
