The Chronica pontificum Mediolanensium by the Dominican Galvano Fiamma, which was dedicated to Giovanni Visconti in October of 1339, recounts the story of the early archbishops

of Milan, from the city’s first evangelizer, Barnabas, to Ambrose. The volume, which is accompanied by a translation and commentary, constitutes the first critical edition of the work based on numerous sources, ranging from the patristic tradition to strictly milanese sources, and positions itself at the forefront in terms of Fiamma’s conception of the Church’s history in Milan.
