   • 1321, Dante Alighieri, La divina commedia: Paradiso, Le Monnier, published 2002, Canto XXII, pages 405–406, lines 73–78:

     Ma, per salirla, mo nessun diparte ¶ da terra i piedi, e la regola mia ¶ rimasa è per danno de le carte. ¶ Le mura che solieno esser badia ¶ fatte sono spelonche, e le cocolle ¶ sacca son piene di farina ria.

     But to ascend it now no one uplifts his feet from off the earth, and now my Rule below remaines for mere waste of paper. The walls that used of old to be an Abbey are changed to dens of robbers, and the cowls are sacks filled full of miserable flour.

     tornato in Firenze, tutto suo patrimonio d’Alamagna fece vendere, e ordinò e fece fare sette badie: la prima fu la Badia di Firenze a onore di santa Maria

     Having returned to Florence, he had all his property in Germany sold, and commissioned the making of seven abbeys: the first one was the abbey of Florence, in honor of St. Mary
