From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Nelli of Florence was secretary to the bishop Angelo Acciaiuoli I and a pastor at the Prior of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Florence. Nelli corresponded much with Francesco Petrarch as is evident by the fifty letters still existing of his to Petrarch and thirty-eight letters still existing from Petrarch to him. Six of the nineteen letters of Liber sine nomine are addressed to Nelli.
