| Cretan poet Leonardos Dellaportas, Kretika Chronika XII (1958), 387-434
A number of documents on the life and times of Cretan poet Leonardos Dellaportas and his son Bertos were recently discovered in the Archive of the Duca di Candia, which is held in the Venetian State Archive. Dating to the late 14th and early 15th century, the documents concern civil law suits. On the basis of the information yielded, Dellaportas’ work can now be dated to between 1403 and 1414, and his death to 1419 or 1420. All of the above material is published here in the original, with a translation or extended synopsis and commentary, followed by an index of proper names.
