Giacomo Filippo Foresti da Bergamo

chronicler
and Biblical scholar.

Supplementum chronicarum, 1491

His Supplementum chronicarum (first printed at Venice, 1483)

Legenda Aurea and the letter of Prester John as possible sources for Foresti's narration of the episode, casting doubt on the veracity of an Ethiopian embassy to Europe at this date,[6] as well as a section in the Cronica Universalis of Galvano Fiamma, indicating conversely that this section of Foresti's account is entirely and directly based, to exclusion of other sources, on the cartographic treatise of Giovanni da Carignano.[7]

His De claris mulieribus

This book, as well as the Supplementum, influenced many subsequent publications.

He also wrote a well-known confessional.
