Note 048
At the end of the Historia Pandectarum of
Henry Brenckmann, (Trajecti ad Rhenum, 1722, in 4to.,) the
indefatigable author has inserted two dissertations, de
Republica Amalphitana, and de Amalphi a Pisanis direpta,
which are built on the testimonies of one hundred and forty
writers. Yet he has forgotten two most important passages
of the embassy of Liutprand, (A.D. 939,) which compare the
trade and navigation of Amalphi with that of Venice.]
