Abstract: Iacopo Stefaneschi (1260/70-1341) was one of the most important witnesses of the formidable years marked by the papal election of Celestine V, by his subsequent resignation, and finally by his canonization. Connected with his “great refusal” were the election and coronation of Boniface VIII, which are celebrated in the work here published for the first time with an Italian translation, an introduction and commentary notes.

This edition is based on the ms. of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Vat. lat. 4933, the only ms. that contains the fully first draft of the work: controlled directly by the author, the text is dotted with explanatory glosses attributable to the same Stefaneschi.
