Evidence
1861-12-08: "8. Sunday. G. had a bad headache, so we walked out in the morning sunshine. I told him my conception of my story, and he expressed great delight. Shall I ever be able to carry out my ideas? Flashes of hope are succeeded by long intervals of dim distrust. Finished the 8th vol. of Lastri, and began the IXth chapter of Varchi in which he gives an account of Florence." Diary 1861-1877 105
1861-12-09: "9. Finished the Encheiridion of Epictetus. Wrote sketches of scenes. Finished the IXth chapter of Varchi, which contains many passages highly interesting to me. There came from the library Rody de Graecis Illustribus, in which I looked at the life of Marullus; Middleton's Free Inquiry, which is not the book I wanted, namely, the Letter from Rome; and Poggiana. G. brings me word from the British Museum, that Filelfo's letters are translated into Italian." Diary 1861-1877 106
1861-12-13: "13. Read Poggiana and finished looking through Filelfo's letters. In the afternoon walked to Molini's and brought back Savonarola's Dialogue, de veritate Profetica, and Compendium Revelationum, for 4! In the evening looked over the 9th Book of Varchi again." Diary 1861-1877 106
