This edition not in the British Library catalogue. Intended as a general history of the world to show the workings of divine providence (Catholic Encyclopedia,) the work is more valuable when the author turns to contemporary events with which, from his frequent embassies on the part of the Republic of Florence, his correspondence with Popes and others, his close links to the Medici family, he was closely connected. Born in 1389, he entered the Dominican order and was the founder of the famous Covent of San Marco at Florence. The Chronicon was first published at Venice 1474-79, as part of his Opera omnia.

E. Matthews, Gerald Du Maurier, Herman Vezin, and others, including some unidentified, mostly one or two pages, 8vo 'St. John Hankin, one of the most interesting writers of the Edwardian New Drama, was born in Southampton in 1869 and educated at Malvern School and Oxford. He married Florence Routledge and went to India as a journalist but, having contracted malaria, he returned to London in 1895. He became drama critic for The Times and also wrote for Punch... His theatrical interests and his admiration of the work of Bernard Shaw took him onto the council of the Stage Society, and to his first play, The Two Mr Wetherbys, which was produced by the Society in 1903 ... Renewed critical interest and the reprinting of two of the plays make it likely that Hankin will gain a permanent, if minor, place in the national theatrical repertoire', Literary Encyclopedia.
