"Dell'historia della Città e Republica di Venezia di Paolo Morosini senatore veneziano"--Caption title.

The caption title allows to assign the authorship to the historian Paolo Morosini (1406-1483), who indeed was a senator in Venice and who left some of his writings in manuscript. However, the work is dedicated to the doge of Venice Francesco Erizzo (1556-1646) also by a Paolo Morosini, obviously a contemporary of the doge and most likely the same Paolo Morosini who is mentioned by Michaud as the brother of the historian Andrea Morosini (1558-1618). Accordingly to Bibliotheque Nationale this 17th century Paolo Morosini is the author of this work. Library of Congress assigns the authorship to thw 15th century Paolo Morosini (1406-1483).
