Notes

Icilio Federico Joni, peintre siennois, imita les reliures peintes dont étaient revêtus les livres de comptes de la Biccherna, principale institution financière du gouvernement de Sienne du XIIIe au XVIIe siecle. Ses reliures étaient si soigneusement exécutées que même les grands collectionneurs, tels que Borghese, Hoe et Wilmerding furent dupés et en possedèrent. Ce n'est qu'en 1932 que Joni avoua, dans son autobiographie (Le Memorie di un pittore di Quadri Antichi, 1932), en être l'auteur. On y joint 4 fardes de documentation. Imitation medieval binding in the style of the Tavolette di Biccherna of Siena, consisting of 2 wooden panels joined by leather spine. The image shows Piccolomini, bishop of Siena, presenting his bride-to-be Eleanora of Aragon to the Emperor Frederick III. Joni (1865-1946) was a Sienese who specialized in producing fanciful imitations of the painted wooden covers on medieval account books in the treasury of Siena
