Tomo Primo’, of Christoforo Bianco’s revision of Ammirato’s work, originally
published in 1600, takes the history to 1353; vol. 2 (1641), ‘Parte Seconda’,
covers 1435–1573. Some of the documents cited by ‘Scipio Ammirato the younger,’
the name Bianco had been asked to take upon in 1601, after the death of his
benefactor, Scipio Ammirato ‘the elder,’ supposedly dated 1562, are in fact
forgeries by the then 19-year-old aristocrat Curzio Inghirami of Volterra. This
young enthousiast had created, buried, and subsequently helped to disinter a
host of ‘Etruscan’ fragments, which–reassembled and ‘translated’, Etruscan
being a language conveniently unknown to any living scholar–told the sad story
of the Roman destruction of Etruria in 60 BC. See Ingrid Rowland, The Scarith
of Scornello. A Tale of Renaissance Forgery. Chicago, 2004, pp. 120, 190.</span></p><p></p>
