2pp, 8vo. On first leaf of bifolium. Text complete and clearly legible, on aged and worn paper. The first page is begins with text in the hand of Cammillo Cateni, headed 'Adì 2 Gennaio 1800', written on behalf of Cateni and Giovanni Gualterro Uccelli, 'Medici filii di questa Citta di Firenze', attesting the signature of 'la Siga. Angiola Lucchi'. (Jeremy Black, in his 'Italy and the Grand Tour' (2003), states that Horace Walpole's friend Francis Whithed (1719-51) had a mistress by this name, 'by whom he had a daughter, Sophia, to whom he eventually left £6,000'.) This section is signed by 'Dott. Cammillo Cateni' and 'Dott. Gio: Gualterro Uccelli'. Beneath this, taking up most of the first page is the first part of the text in the hand of the Florentine notary public Lorenzo Fabbrucci, headed 'Al Nome di Dio - Amen', attesting to Cateni, Uccelli and Lucchi. Fabbrucci's stamp in black ink is in the margin beside the continuation on the second page, after which is Fabbrucci's signature. After this comes Wyndham's text, with his seal in red wax in the left-hand margin: 'This is to certify to all whom it may concern that Sigr. Lorenzo Fabbrucci is a Notary Public in this city of Florence & that full faith may be given to his signature - | Given under our hand & seal this thirteenth day of January one thousand eight hundred | W Wyndham | His Majestys Envoy Extra | at the Court of Tuscany'.
