This work shows how the confusion wrought by Inghirami’s archival forgeries extended even beyond the era of Italian unification. See I. D. Rowland, The scarith of Scornello: a tale of renaissance forgery. Chicago, 2004, p. 120; E. Havens, “Babelic Confusion. Literary Forgery and the Bibliotheca Fictiva,” in W. Stephens &amp; E. Havens (eds.), Literary forgery in early modern Europe, 1450-1800, Baltimore, 2018, p. 71-72, n. 45.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4102879" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
