Register or Login to view.If we accept Taccola as a source, this would place the lowest boundary for at least the Balneo and Cosmo sections to the 1420s. More realistically the 1430s. That's within the upper range of the younger 1385-1438 peak, but the older 1308-1362 peak implies that the parchment would have been at least 60 years old when used, even up to 125 years.
If I recall correctly, correct me if I'm wrong, both Taccola and Alberti were in Siena at the exact same date, at the end of the 1430s, perhaps 1438.
I'm not suggesting anything, but...
