Vn capitano moro (vol. 1, pp. 571-586), while perhaps not a direct source of Shakespeare’s Othello, contains some of its main incidents. Ivriste e mandato da Massimiano Imperadore in Ispruchi, oue fa prendere vn Giouane violatore di vna vergine, & condannalo 4 morte ... (vol. 2, pp. 415-430) doubtless was the source of George Whetstones’ Promos and Cassandra, upon which Shakespeare based his Measure for measure.
