the ixth and xth books of Marinus Barletius, which may be
rectified by the testimony or silence of Muratori, (Annali
d'Italia, tom. xiii. p. 291,) and his original authors,
(Joh. Simonetta de Rebus Francisci Sfortiae, in Muratori,
Script. Rerum Ital. tom. xxi. p. 728, et alios.) The
Albanian cavalry, under the name of Stradiots, soon became
famous in the wars of Italy, (Memoires de Comines, l. viii.
c. 5.)]
