In documents of the kingdom of Jerusalem there are names still more
anomalous, e.g., Gualterius Baffumeth, Joannes Mahomet. (See Cod.
Dipl. del Sac. Milit. Ord. Gerosol. I. 2-3, 62.)

[4] See Fragm. Hist. Pisan. in Muratori, xxiv. 651, seqq.; and
Caffaro, id. vi. 588, 594-595. The cut in the text represents a
striking memorial of those Pisan Prisoners, which perhaps still
survives, but which at any rate existed last century in a collection
at Lucca. It is the seal of the prisoners as a body corporate:
SIGILLUM UNIVERSITATIS CARCERATORUM PISANORUM JANUE DETENTORUM, and
was doubtless used in their negotiations for peace with the Genoese
Commissioners. It represents two of the prisoners imploring the
Madonna, Patron of the Duomo at Pisa. It is from Manni, Osserv. Stor.
sopra Sigilli Antichi, etc., Firenze, 1739, tom. xii. The seal is
also engraved in Dal Borgo, op. cit. ii. 316.
[5] The Abate Spotorno in his Storia Letteraria della Liguria, II. 219,
fixes on a Genoese philosopher called Andalo del Negro, mentioned by
Boccaccio.
[6] I quote from Galignani's ed. of Prose Works, v. 712. This has
"Rusticien de Puise." In this view of the fictitious character of
the names of Rusticien and the rest, Sir Walter seems to have been
following Ritson, as I gather from a quotation in Dunlop's H. of
Fiction. (Liebrecht's German Version, p. 63.)
