Tuetey, Paris, 1881, in 8vo.] I must mention a document which is neither French nor Burgundian, but Italian.

I refer to the _Chronique d'Antonio Morosini_, published and annotated with admirable erudition by M.Germain Lefevre-Pontalis.
This chronicle, or to be more precise, the letters it contains, are very valuable to the historian, but not on account of the veracity of the deeds here attributed to the Maid, which on the contrary are all imaginary and fabulous.

In the _Chronique de Morosini_,[44] every single fact concerning Jeanne is presented in a wrong character and in a false light.

And yet Morosini's correspondents are men of business, thoughtful, subtle Venetians.

These letters reveal how there were being circulated throughout Christendom a whole multitude of fictitious stories, imitated some from the Romances of Chivalry, others from the Golden Legend, concerning that _Demoiselle_ as she is called, at once famous and unknown.
