Sources for the Angevins in Italy are not widely available
in English. See:
Villani's Chronicle, transl. Rose E. Selfe and ed. P.H. Wicksteed
(London, 1906), which is only a series of oddly chosen
selections. The Decameron of Boccaccio (available in sev-
eral editions and translations) is rich in tales of Angevin
Naples.


The voices of the rulers themselves may be heard in:


Robert d'Anjou, La vision bienheureuse. Traite envoye au pape
Jean XXII, ed. M. Dykmans (Miscellanea Historiae
Pontificiae, Rome, 1970).
Rene d'Anjou, Le Livre du Cueur d'Amours Espris, illustra-
tions from the Vienna manuscript with commentary by
F. Unterkircher (London, etc., 1975); for the text, S.
Wharton, ed., LeLivredu Cuerd'AmoursEspris (Paris, 1980).

et de Naples', transl. and ed. S. Lefevre, in D. Regnier-
