About this book
Villani's Chronicle is a set of selections from the first nine books of the Croniche Fiorentine of Giovanni Villani, translated by Rose E. Selfe and edited by Philip H. Wicksteed. A section on the historical value of Villani's Chronicle says these selections are intended to illustrate the text of Dante.
An account says that for more than three days Manfred could not be found, until at last one of his own camp-followers recognised him by sundry marks on his person, in the midst of the battle-field. A camp-follower who finds Manfred's body throws it across an ass and goes his way crying, Who buys Manfred? Who buys Manfred? Section headings include how King Robert went with a great armament against Sicily and besieged the city of Trapali, and how the Paduans were discomfited at Vicenza by M. Cane della Scala.
