Talk:Francesco Datini

message: The following statement is not accurate and needs to be clarified or rewritten: "He is an important figure in history because he is the only representative of a typical middle class person during the Middle Ages of which we currently have any record." --Jjhake (talk) 21:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inaccurate statement 

message: L.G. proposed the following intro:
Francesco de Marco Datini was a man who was ordinary in every respect in the Middle Ages.  He was born from c. 1340-1411, and lived his life as a merchant, going from Italy to Avingon and back again, trading goods such as Italian art and luxury items for the cardinals and the rich at Avingon.  He encountered the Black Death twice in his life, and lived through them.  His letters are one of the few examples of ordinary life in the Medieval Ages.  As such, he is extremely important to the historical and literary world.
Posted on behalf of L.G. by Mr. Hake:
I have made corrections and comments to her work by hand, but have left them uncorrected on here.  Clearly, several of her facts and some of her ideas could form the basis of material that would be good to include.--Jjhake (talk) 13:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I very often find course mistakes with italian names and the italian language in english literature, etc. I would love to help respect the italians and their culture by correcting these.(87.16.129.43 (talk) 09:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
