Evidence

"2. Read the 2nd and 3rd volumes of Lastri. Looked into the Marmi of Doni. Walked in the park with George. Read Sacchetti and Boccaccio's capital story of Fra Cipolla -one of his few good stories - and the Little Hunchback in the Arabian Nights, which is still better. Read Nardi in the evening." Diary 1861-1877 99
