(1) Seen by Antonio de Beatis in 1517 castel of Blois with numerous books with Sforzaʼs arms on silver casps. ----- (2) confiscated during French invasion, when Sanseverino was briefly imprisoned by French, along with Il Moro. Several possibilities among French invaders known to have possessed books stolen from Sforza. a) Cardinal Georges d'Amboise (1460-1510) At his Chateau de Gaillon : Oraison de la reduction de Milan; Aquinas' On Kingship once belonging to Ludovico Il Moro b)Geoffroy Carles (C.1460-1516) Two Sforza owned books among nine of Italian origin: Aquinas On Kingship (later to Amboise), and Justin, Epitome historiarum Pompeii Trogi, once owned by Francesco Sforza c)Florimond Robertet (1460-1527) Most likely of these three. Owned a collection of Sforza related documents compiled by Cicco Simonetta (d.1480). Patron of Leonardo da Vinci ("our dear and well loved...."). Commisioned 'Madonna of Yarnwinder'.Contents of his library are unknown. An inventory made by his widow in 1532 is lost. A mid-17th century reconstruction of that inventory for his great grandson Charles de Restaing is a partial fabrication by Henri Chesneau. Subsequent: Wedding gift by French crown to King Sigismund I of Poland for his nuptials with Bona Sforza, cousin of Francis I through house of Savoy, at a time (1518) when Francis was trying to forge a military alliance with Poland against the Turks, and soliciting Sigismund's vote for him in the upcoming election of the Holy Roman Emperor. Polish royal collection to Jan Zamoyski, and ultimately the Polish National Library in Warsaw. # # # # # # # # # 13 Apr. 2011 - David Writght
