1460/1513, Ancona - allowance

Found by Thierry Depaulis:
Cyriaque d'Ancône: le voyageur, le marchand, l'humaniste by Jean Colin, 1981, notes at p. 95:

Constitutiones sive Statuta magnifice civitatis Ancone [1513] ... interdit le "ludum taxillorum" (= dés, moriola, etc.), mais permet, sous certaines conditions, le "ludus tabularum, chartarum, triumphorum" (jeu de pios sur une tableau, de cartes, etc.)

"Constitutiones sive Statuta magnifice civitatis Ancone" is given as codified in 1460, published in 1513 (in my opinion it's perhaps not reliable, that the text is really from 1460 or entered the printed edition of 1513 in a modified form, often such later prints are changed according to the Constitutions of the time; Schreiber (1938) behaved sceptical in such cases).

The note of Ancona is one of three of a rather isolated region at the Eastern coast of Italy (near to Fabriano and Ancona). These, together with the notes in Rome and Naples, which more or less all appear in the 70's of 15th cebtury, show, that the Trionfi evolution in Southern Italy took place 20-30 years after the first developments in Northern parts of Italy.
