Abstract

A hitherto unpublished note in a manuscript of the Biblioteca Capitular y Colombina of Sevilla testifies that in 1448 Ciriaco of Ancona visited Mycenae, and admired and exactly measured the Lion Gate. The autograph of the Latin note, which accom-panied a drawing of the Mycenaean monument, was cut off from Ciriaco’s Diary (ms. Ambros. Trotti 373) and is now lost, having perhaps become part of a private collection.
