Fransiscan friar Paolino Veneto (Venice, ca. 1270 – 1344) was a character of undoubted importance at the beginning of the 14th century due of an intense and continuous commitment in the political-diplomatic field, which led him to travel. Extraordinarily fruitful was his ability to make a strong endowment of images and figures collaborate with narrative writing, such as to make his own works authentic and pioneering Bildertexten, of excellent visual impact, which impressed many intellectuals of the time including none other than Giovanni Boccaccio. This volume of proceedings of the International Seminar of Studies, held at the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice on October 24, 2016, is also an opportunity to reinterpret and read on a new take, the many aspects of the work of this mediator of knowledge’ hitherto neglected; yet a leading figure on the horizon of all the knowledge active at the end of the Middle Ages and at the time when the first hints of the new seasons were taking root that the humanists were about to make unique and inevitable for the whole of Europe.
