Not knowing where he may be at the time of his death, he designates in different cities the spot he would choose for his burial, naming Padua, Venice, Milan, Rome, and Parma, and leaves a legacy of 200 gold ducats to the church at Padua, and 20 to the church in which he shall be interred. Among special bequests is one to the Governor of Padua, of a very fine picture of the Virgin Mary--“opus Joctii, pictoris egregii”--which had sent been him from Florence by his friend Michael Navis. “In beholding this painting,” he says, “pulchritudinem ignorantes, non intelligunt; magistri autem, artis, stupent.” He desires that all the horses he may possess at the time of his decease may be divided between his two friends, Bonzanello and Lorbardo, and acknowledges a debt to the latter of 334 gold ducats and 16 sous, which he nevertheless hopes to pay before his death. He bequeaths to the same Lorbardo his small round goblet of silver-gilt that he may drink as much water as he likes, knowing that he prefers water to wine. To the Sacristan, Giovanni Bocheta, he gives his large breviary, which cost him 100 livres at Venice; but desires that after the death of the Sacristan the volume may be deposited in the sacristy of the church for the use of all priests attached to that church and who will pray for him to God and the Virgin Mary. He leaves to Giovanni di Certaldo, otherwise Boccaccio,--(_verecundi admodùm tanto viro, tam modicum_, says he),--200 gold florins of Florence, to purchase him a winter robe suitable for his studious vigils. The words “_tanto viro_” are significant of the great esteem in which he held the genius of Boccaccio. To Tomaso Bambasia, of Ferrara, he leaves his lute, which he describes as “good”--_leutum meum bonum_--but for singing the praises of the Lord, and by no means _pro vanitate seculi fugacis_. To Johannes _de Horologio_--to whom he gives the title of “_physicum_”--he bequeaths 50 gold ducats to buy a ring which he will wear on his finger in memory of the testator. As for his servants, he gives first to Bartolomeo di Siena, surnamed Pancaldus, a sum of 20 ducats, but on condition that he will not gamble with it. To Litius, he gives the same, etc.
