	Early Notes about the Minchiate Notes are based on the studies of Raimondo Luberti (Burchiello) and Franco Pratesi (Notes in Florence). ca. 1440: The words "Trionfi" and "minchiatar" appear together in a poem of Burchiello (compare (document A) 1466: In an older reference it is noted, that Pulci wrote a letter to the young Lorenzo de Medici, in which the term "Minchiate" appears. Considerable research was done by Franco Pratesi to detect the letter, however, the information was not traceable. 1471: In Cortono, rather far away from Florence but belonging at that time to Florence, somebody is accused of heresy of having played Minchiate in the summer of 1470 (having played in a church or near a church). The note is written in a half-Latin-half-Italian version:: "In Dei nomine Amen. Anna domine nostri Yesu Christi; millesimo cccclxxj. Inditione iv, die xx mensis maij.; Bartolomeo di Giovanni di Vaglia de Mugello provigionato nel cassero di Cortona com'egli e bastemiato Iddio et la vergine Maria giuchando chon alchuni provigionato et maximamente giuchava alle MINCHIATE del mese giugno luglio et agoste e molte volte ... etc ...." 1477: “Pilucchino” and “Minchiate” are also called "allowed games" (after other allowances in earlier years for other games, also for "Trionfi" in 1450).
