Note (Additional information about the record)
- Ab. 680pp Mr Rawdon Brown writes on a fly-leaf of this volume: "The Contarini, the writer of these despatches, was afterwards Doge of Venice, namely from the year 1623 till 1625. On the morning of Monday 13 February 1837, Emmanuele Cigogna, the author of the Venetian inscriptions, remarked this to me, and observed that the paper on which these letters are written is Roman. The Tiepolo inherited the Contarini property and archives, and Cigogna confirms my assertion that the Tiepolo collection of Venetian Ambassadorial Reports was one of the most complete and authentic ever formed."
