[1193] Voigt, ii. 259, says that Gloucester's relations with Candido dated back from the time when he translated the _Vita Henrici Quinti_ of Livius into Italian. As this was done in 1463, after Gloucester's death, it cannot exactly be said to have originated his connection with the translator. See _Tabulae Codic.u.m Palatina Vindobonensi_, ii. 106.
