General note | "The Old yellow book is a collection of pamphlets relating to the trial of Guido Franceschini ... The eighteen pamphlets ... include three arguments by Archangeli and three by Spreti for the defense, and a summary of their evidence; two arguments by Gambi and three by Bottini forthe Fisc or prosecution, with two summaries of their evidence; an extra-judicial anonymous pamphlet, no.10, written in support of Guido, with an anonymous answer to it, no.15, written in support of the prosecution. After which come Lamparelli's argument in vindication of Pompilia's reputation and the Instrument of final judgment absolving her ... The chronological order of the arguments is not the same as that in which they are bound together in the Old yellow book."--p.[25]-28. |
