Excerpt from Venice, Vol. 2: Its Individual Growth From the Earliest Beginnings to the Fall of the Republic; Part II the Golden Age Giannotto Castiglione, dated February 22, 1561, where Domenichi says: non restero di pregarla con tutta quella riverenza, ch' io debbo, oh' ella mi faccia gratia d'accettar volentieri questa mia nuova fatica. The absolute identity between Domenichi's tragedy and Correr's has been pointed out by Agostini, Scrittori veneziani, I, 108 A. Tessier returned to the subject and demonstrated more fully the plagiarism of Domenichi in the article Intorno a Lodovico Domenichi, plagiario, in the Giornale di eru dizione (vol. I, Nos. 9 - 12, pp. 10 - 20. Firenze, Parabosco's tragedy on the same subject (venetia, Comin da Trino, though faithfully following the myth of Progne as given us by Thucydides, Apollodorus, Pausanias, Ovid, has nothing in common with Correr's play as regards plot and style.
