Luigi Guicciardini, 1521-1589, was the brother [ sic ] of Francesco Guiccaridini, the Italian historian and statesman, to whom this work was formerly attributed. The first edition, printed in 1644, was without the capitolazione tra il Pont. Clemente VII. Although the imprint is Colonia, the book was probably printed in Lucca, Italy.
