MILTON AND MALATESTI. About nine years after Milton visited Italy, he thus briefly noticed, in letter to Carlo Dati, his surviving Florentine friends: "Carolo DATO patricio Florentino.... Tu interim, mi Carole, valebis, et Cultellino, Francino, Frescobaldo, Malatestæ, Clementillo minori, et si quem alium nostri amantiorem novisti; toti denique Gaddianæ academiæ, salutem meo nomine plurimam dices. Interim vale.--_Londino_, Aprilis 21. 1647." The above extract is from _The prose works of John Milton_, as printed in 1806, and I shall add to it the translation by Robert Fellowes, A.M., from the same edition: "To Carolo DEODATI, a Florentine noble.... In the mean time, my dear Charles, farewell, and present my kind wishes to Cultellino, Francisco, Trescobaldo, Malatesto, the younger Clemantillo, and every other inquiring friend, and to all the members of the Gaddian academy. Adieu.--_London_, April 21. 1647." Warton states, in a note on the minor poems of Milton, that Mr. Brand discovered, on a book-stall, a manuscript of _La tina_ of Malatesti, _dedicated to Milton while at Florence_, and that he gave it to Mr. Hollis, who sent it in 1758, together with the works of Milton, to the Accademia della Crusca. Warton justly observes, "The first piece would have been a greater curiosity in England." With these facts the information of the most recent biographers of Milton seems to terminate. I am enabled, however, to prove that the work is IN PRINT, and shall transcribe my authority _verbatim_: "MALATESTI, _Antonio_. LA TINA, equivoci rusticali (in 50 sonetti).
