Remarks

Transcription « Anco dentro della città sopra i colli che son sopra alla ripa destra del Ligeris, vi se vedeno molte ruine antique le quali non si può giudicar quel che erano : ma facilmente si abitava anticamente quella parte meglio che ora, e sono ruine di case. » = “Within the town too, on the hills on the right bank of the [Saone], one can see many antique ruins; it is difficult to imagine exactly how they were, but it is obvious that living conditions in that part of town were better then than now, as they are clearly ruined houses.”
