Re: Trionfi manuscripts before 1500
11Thanks, Ross. This book seems to be in a library locally.. I will take a look.
She does not include in that number the three that the text (but not the Appendix) says are 1440-1450 or 1440-1460 So clearly 1450 is a watershed year, lasting for a decade. She assigns only one Florentine manuscript to a time before then, the Apollonio of 1442 (although I think there were cassoni). I do not know if she is speaking of just manuscripts with illuminations of the the Triumph of Time, or all illuminated manuscripts of the poem, but I think the latter. If so, from being mainly concerned with that triumph, she has probably left out a few.Approximately one-fifth of the extant Trionfi manuscripts belong to the decade between 1450 and 1460. With the exception of three from northern Italy, all the illuminations are Florentine.
1449 ? Or 1450 ?As to whether Florentines of means perceived any relationship between the manuscripts they were now commissioning and the card game of Trionifi, it seems to me relevant to observe that the game was legalized in Florence in 1449, according to Pratesi's research.
If you want to read what Cohen says about these manuscripts, I have uploaded the pages, together with her bibliography on trionfo manuscripts, at http://nobletnotes.blogspot.com/2018/10/cohen.html.313

Not to confuse matters even more, but the cassone of the 1459 Santa Croce joust shows a putto-esque yet clearly older male with hourglass, with a mirror image of the stepping forward legs (the "march of time"?):mikeh wrote: 07 Oct 2018, 22:17 Cohen shows a 1488 printed triumph of time using a foliot plus hourglass motif, like the c. 1465 Mantua that Phaeded posted.
She says it is a putto on top, but it looks more adult and feminine to me.
