About the author

Petruccio Ubaldini (1524?-1600?) was an Italian calligrapher, historian, and writer who spent a significant part of his life in England. Known for his contributions to historical writing and manuscript illumination, he became an important figure in the English court, particularly under Queen Elizabeth I.

One of his notable works, Descrittione del regno di Scotia, provides a detailed description of Scotland, offering insights into the country's geography, history, and society. His work is a valuable resource for historians studying the period.

Ubaldini's influence lies in his ability to bridge Italian and English cultures during the Renaissance. His manuscripts remain a testament to the artistic and intellectual exchanges of his time, leaving a lasting legacy in the fields of historical documentation and calligraphy.
