Patrizio Ravennate
Patrizio Ravennate (Latin: Patricius Ravennas) was a chronicler of Ravenna active in the late 14th century and possibly into the early 15th.[1]
Virtually nothing is known of his life, although he is usually presumed to have been a native of Ravenna. The only thing that can be said for certain about his dates is that he was alive after 1378, when his chronicle ends.[1] If he died shortly after completing his chronicle, he was probably born between about 1310 and 1330. He may have been educated at the University of Bologna.[2]
Patricius' Cronica covers the period 1000–1378. It is essentially regional in focus.[1] His sources include Pietro Cantinelli, Riccobaldo da Ferrara and a lost Bolognese source. For later years he includes personal experience.[2] The Cronica is preserved complete in a single 15th-century manuscript, now Modena, Biblioteca Estense, Camp. App. 416 (= γ. R.2.35). An incomplete copy, containing only the years 1106–1276, is found in a 15th-century manuscript in Ravenna, Biblioteca Classense, Vol. miscellaneo, Mob.3.5. M/12.[1]
