- 13th century [4th to 5th century CE], “Incominciasi il libro di Vegezio Flavio Rinato per dignità chiarissimo, che tratta delle cose della Cavalleria, a Teodosio vittorioso Imperadore mandato [Thus begins the book of Vegetius Flavius Renatus — most worthy and illustrious — about the things of Cavalry, sent to the victorious Emperor Theodosius]”, Libro primo [First book], in Bono Giamboni, transl., Dell'arte della guerra [On the art of war], translation of Dē rē mīlitārī by Pūblius Flāvius Vegetius Renātus (in Late Latin); republished as Di Vegezio Flavio, Dell’arte della guerra libri IV - volgarizzamento di Bono Giamboni[1], Florence: Giovanni Marenigh, 1815, pages 5–6:
- […] questa nostra opera non desidera di parole grande ornamento, nè grande sottigliezza d'ingegno, ma fatica diligente e fedele, acciocchè quello che spartitamente è detto per molti ¶ […] in uno volume si rechi, ed apertamente si dica, […] acciocchè Tu, vittorioso Imperadore, […] trovi ciò che delle grandi cose necessarie di cavalleria vai sempre caendo.
- [original: […] in hōc opusculō nec verbōrum concinnitās sit necessāria nec acūmen ingeniī, sed labor dīligēns ac fidēlis, ut, quae apud dīversōs historicōs […] dispersa […] prōferantur in medium. […] nōn quō tibi, imperātor invicte, […] quicquid dē maximīs rēbus semperque necessāriīs requīrendum crēdis, inveniās.]
- […] this work of ours does not wish for a great adornment of words, nor for great subtlety of thought; but for diligent and faithful work, so that that which is said separately by many […] is brought in one volume, and said openly, […] so that You, o victorious Emperor, […] find that which you go looking for of the great necessary things of cavalry.
- 15th century, Angelo Poliziano, Ben venga maggio[2], collected in Rime by Natalino Sapegno, Roma, published 1965, lines 39–41:
- Amor ne vien ridendo
con rose e gigli in testa,
e vien di voi caendo.- Love comes laughing, with roses and lilies on its head, and comes looking for you.
