[2] The list of the whole number is preserved in the Doria archives, and has been published by Sign. Jacopo D’Oria. Many of the Baptismal names are curious, and show how far sponsors wandered from the Church Calendar. _Assan, Alton, Turco, Soldan_ seem to come of the constant interest in the East. _Alaone_, a name which remained in the family for several generations, I had thought certainly borrowed from the fierce conqueror of the Khalif (_infra_, p. 63). But as one Alaone, present at this battle, had a son also there, he must surely have been christened before the fame of Hulaku could have reached Genoa. (See _La Chiesa di S. Matteo_, pp. 250, _seqq._) In documents of the kingdom of Jerusalem there are names still more anomalous, _e.g._, _Gualterius Baffumeth_, _Joannes Mahomet_. (See _Cod. Dipl. del Sac. Milit. Ord. Gerosol._ I. 2–3, 62.) [3] _Memorial. Potestat. Regiens._ in _Muratori_, viii. 1162. [4] See _Fragm. Hist. Pisan._ in _Muratori_, xxiv. 651, _seqq._; and _Caffaro_, _id._ vi. 588, 594–595. The cut in the text represents a striking memorial of those Pisan Prisoners, which perhaps still survives, but which at any rate existed last century in a collection at Lucca. It is the seal of the prisoners as a body corporate: SIGILLUM UNIVERSITATIS CARCERATORUM PISANORUM JANUE DETENTORUM, and was doubtless used in their negotiations for peace with the Genoese Commissioners. It represents two of the prisoners imploring the Madonna, Patron of the Duomo at Pisa. It is from _Manni, Osserv. Stor. sopra Sigilli Antichi_, etc., Firenze, 1739, tom. xii. The seal is also engraved in _Dal Borgo_, _op. cit._ ii. 316. [5] The Abate Spotorno in his _Storia Letteraria della Liguria_, II. 219, fixes on a Genoese philosopher called Andalo del Negro, mentioned by Boccaccio. [6] I quote from Galignani’s ed. of Prose Works, v. 712. This has “Rusticien de _Puise_.” In this view of the fictitious character of the names of Rusticien and the rest, Sir Walter seems to have been following Ritson, as I gather from a quotation in Dunlop’s H. of Fiction. (_Liebrecht’s_ German Version, p. 63.) [7] _Giron le Courtois_, and the conclusion of _Tristan_. [8] The passage runs thus as quoted (from the preamble of the _Meliadus_—I suspect in one of the old printed editions):—
