Note 855 — Chapter II · THE OUTWARD REFINEMENT OF LIFE.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
The diminution of the ‘burla’ is evident from the instances in the Cortigiano, l. ii. fol. 96. The Florence practical jokes kept their ground tenaciously. See, for evidence, the tales of Lasca (Ant. Franc. Grazini, b. 1503, d. 1582), which appeared at Florence in 1750.
