Does anyone have a source for the phrase, "He was the historian who coined the term Middle Ages"? As part of another project, I spent two weeks reading the Decades, the Roma instaurata, the De romana locutione, the Italia instaurata, and the Roma triumphans and could find it. I admit, he does come very close, and I hoped every aetas nostra would have a correlate, but a phrase referring to the time between antiquity and his own never occurs. This is also the conclusion of D. Hay (“Flavio Biondo and the Middle Ages,” Proceedings of the British Academy 45 (1960), 97–128, reproduced in D. Hay, Renaissance Essays (London and Ronceverte, 1988), 35–66, see p. 55). So, if anyone has a citation, please post it here! -- Harry 21:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear OP, in 1420 Poggio was in London. Rather this date should be 1430, which is attested in more than one source, such as Walser. --
