   • 1348, Giovanni Villani, “Libro tredecimo [Book 13]”, in Nuova Cronica [New Chronicle]‎^[1], published 1991, section 43:

     da’ savi uomini fu molto biasimata la detta legge e riformagione, che perché il Comune la si potesse fare, non era licito di farla contro alla libertà di santa Chiesa né mai più fu fatta in Firenze; e·cchi vi diè aiuto o consiglio o favore issofatto fu scomunicato.

     Said law and reform was greatly frowned upon by the wise men, since even though the Comune could do it, it was not allowed to do it against the freedom of the holy Church, and it was never again done in Florence, and whoever helped, advised, or favoured/favored it, was immediately excommunicated.
