In modern U.S., yes. Perhaps not so much among other cultures of other times. I think it’s fair to claim of historians of most cultures, though. =)

I should’ve known this wouldn’t be news to you, since it’s a) Roland, and b) in Italian. I was forced to read it in translation — William Weaver is (to my non-Italian-reading eye) a kick-ass translator, though.

It’s one of my primary sources that didn’t make it into the Master’s thesis but that is definitely in the corpus list nowadays. :)

It’s rather nifty.
