The prophecies will naturally remind the reader of the famous foretelling in Dante's first canto — that Prophetic of the Veltro, who may have been Can literature. Q ran( j e or possibly Uguccione. But a circumstance which is far less widely known is that Italy in the fourteenth century rejoiced in a whole literature of such prophecies composed in t...he vague and rambling style of the French fatrasie, and allied in many cases with the old political serventese. A notable example of the sort, predicting all manner of dreadful things for the year 1369, was fathered on Jacopone da Todi, the religious enthusiast of the pre- ceding century, and bore as title Prophetia fratris Jacoponis.
