Description:Excerpt from The Novels of Matteo Bandello, Bishop of Agen, Vol. 1: Now First Done Into English Prose and Verse by John Payne General of the Dominican Order, and our author accordingly (no doubt, at his kinsman's instance) became a Preaching Friar of the said Order and a member of the Convent of the Graces1 at Milan, so often mentioned in his novels. He appears to have accompanied his uncle on his frequent joumeys through Italy, France, Spain and Germany to inspect the convents of his order and to have thus acquired a knowledge of the world which afterwards stood him in good stead, both from a worldly and a literary point of view; and he seems indeed to have been the Dominican General's constant associate till his death in 1506. His chief places of residence, when in Italy, appear to have been Milan and Mantua, where he was in high favour with the illustrious families of Bentivoglio, Gonzaga, Rangone, Fregoso and others and enjoyed the friendship and patronage of most of the learned and illustrious men and women of the Italy of his day, to one of which latter, his early patroness, Signora Ippolita Sforza, wife of Alessandro Bentivoglio, the dispossessed Seignior of Bologna, he attributes the original suggestion which led him to undertake the composition of his novels.
