Giraldi Cintio, Giambattista. **G.4074.4 De gli hecatommithi. [La seconda parte nella quale si contengono
tre dialoghi della uita ciuile.] Nel Monte Regale. Appresso Lionardo Torrentino. MDLXV. 2v. 17cm.,, in 8s. 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 a morte . . . (vol. 2, pp. 415-430) doubtless was the source of George Whetstones’ Promos and Cassandra, upon which Shakespeare based his Measure for measure.
