Italian letter to the Palatine of Ruthenia (recipient’s surname unidentified)

The sender addresses a high-ranking recipient and asks for a favor or recommendation; he also mentions a petition/request and benefits received. A substantial part of the text is difficult to read. The ending contains the notation “Camorali li 11 del 1690” (partly read; month absent/illegible) and an illegible signature. No date or place has been assigned without a full reading. The address leaf mentions Palatino di Russia and Leopoli.

Translation / modern text

The sender asks the recipient for favor or a recommendation and mentions favors/benefits received. Most details are illegible and have therefore not been reconstructed. The final notation can be read as “Camorali, on the 11th, 1690” (place uncertain; the month is absent or illegible). The signature cannot be read with confidence. The address notation identifies the recipient as the Palatine of Ruthenia and mentions Leopoli (Lviv).

Reading notes

PDF p. 1 is an archival inventory card recording the beginning of the unit on 11 December 1690; it was not treated as the letter date. The notation on PDF p. 3 appears to read “Camorali li 11 del 1690,” but it does not allow the month or place name to be identified with confidence; date and place are therefore null. PDF p. 4 is the address notation attached to this letter, not a second document. The sender’s and recipient’s surnames have not been read.

Scope of the edition: Working, partial transcription and translation; illegible or uncertain passages are marked with [—] and brackets. The day and month have not been supplied by conjecture.
