Note 116 — Chapter II · THE ORIGIN OF THE FLORENTINE COMMUNE.82
Linda Villari translation
Vide the Chronicle, ad annum. As we have already observed, all information regarding this period is derived from the Gaddi Codex, discovered in the Laurentian Library a few years ago. The part beginning from 1181 is also contained in the autograph Chronicle that has been longer known to us; but being very difficult to decipher has not been much studied.
