[
21] Messer Antonio Grimani of Venice companion of Antonio Maria  
23].  
[
[Footnote: Messer Antonio Gri. His name thus abbreviated is, there  
can be no doubt, Grimani. Antonio Grimani was the famous Doge who in  
1
499 commanded the Venetian fleet in battle against the Turks. But  
after the abortive conclusion of the expedition--Ludovico being the  
ally of the Turks who took possession of Friuli--, Grimani was driven  
into exile; he went to live at Rome with his son Cardinal Domenico  
Grimani. On being recalled to Venice he filled the office of Doge  
from 1521 to 1523. Antonio Maria probably means Antonio Maria  
Grimani, the Patriarch of Aquileia.]
