Written by Francesco di Bartolomeo Casini of Siena (1340/1346-1416), although his name was always cited in his day as Franciscus de Senis; this text seems to have been composed between 1398 and 1404, while Francesco was in the service of Malatesta di Pandolfo Malatesta (1370-1429), lord of Pesaro, to whom the work is dedicated.
