1532, Niccolò Machiavelli, “Proemio [Preface]”, in Istorie fiorentine [Florentine histories]; republished in Mario Martelli, editor, Niccolò Machiavelli: Tutte le opere, Sansoni editore, 1971, page xcvii:L’Animo mio era, quando al principio deliberai ſcrivere le coſe fatte dentro e fuora dal Popolo Fiorentino, cominciare la narrazione mia dagli anni della Criſtiana Religione MCCCCXXXIV. […] Perchè io mi pensava che Meſſer Lionardo d’Arezzo e Meſſer Poggio, duoi eccellentiſſimi iſtorici, aveſſero narrate particolarmente tutte le coſe, che da quel tempo indietro erano ſeguite.- [L'animo mio era, quando al principio deliberai scrivere le cose fatte — dentro e fuora — dal popolo fiorentino, cominciare la narrazione mia dagli anni della cristiana religione MCCCCXXXIV, […] perché io mi pensava che messer Lionardo d'Arezzo e messer Poggio, duoi eccellentissimi istorici, avessero narrate particolarmente tutte le cose che, da quel tempo indietro, erano seguite.]
- My disposition, when I first decided to write down the things done — within and outside — by the Florentine people, was to start my narration from the year 1434 of the Christian religion, for I thought that sir Leonardo of Arezzo and sir Poggio, two very talented historians, had already recounted in detail all the things that had happened before that time.
