   • 1348, Giovanni Villani, “Libro primo [First Book]”, in Nuova Cronica [New Chronicle]‎, published 1991, section 1:

     Con ciò sia cosa che per gli nostri antichi Fiorentini poche e nonn-ordinate memorie si truovino di fatti passati della nostra città di Firenze, […] , io Giovanni cittadino di Firenze, considerando la nobiltà e grandezza della nostra città a’ nostri presenti tempi, mi pare che si convegna di raccontare e fare memoria dell’origine e cominciamento di così famosa città

     Since few and disorderly memories are found, among our oldest Florentines, of past events of our city Florence, I – Giovanni, citizen of Florence –, considering our city's nobility and greatness at the present time, believe it's appropriate to tell and remember the origin and the beginning of such a famous city.
