Paolino Veneto
[2] He was present on 30 November when the inquisitor Antonio da Padova confronted Doge Pietro Gradenigo over the introduction of the inquisition into Venice.
[5] On 12 August 1302, in his capacity as guardian of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, he was ordered by the papal legate Guy de Neuville to hand over the money which the inquisitor Alessandro Novello had given to the convent.
[6] On 5 October, he was present in the church of San Francesco [it] in Treviso to witness the agreement ending the Salt War between Padua and Venice.
[7] In 1307–1308, he was investigated by the canonist Giovanni d'Andrea and the legate Guillaume de Balait after he was accused by Ainardo da Ceneda of accepting bribes.
On 24 October, Guillaume de Balait authorized Bishop Pagano della Torre to release Paolino from his excommunication if he repaid 300 gold florins by Christmas.
He secured compensation for damages inflicted on a Venetian ship by Genoese pirates, Genoa being under Robert's rule at the time.
[9] On 24 September 1321, Paolino was charged by Pope John XXII with examining the Liber secretorum fidelium crucis, a treatise on a new crusade submitted by Marino Sanudo Torsello.
[2] In this capacity, he also dealt with the Visconti of Milan, the Este of Ferrara and the city of Fano, which were all under Venetian protection and papal interdict at the time.
[16] No complete edition of any of the chronicles exists, owing in part to the complexity of the manuscripts, which are replete with large tables.
In the eighth chapter of Book XIV of his Genealogie deorum gentilium, published around 1363, he praised him, but he left critical remarks in his own copy of Paolino's Compendium.
Nonetheless, he copied the account of the life of Muḥammad in Paolino's Satirica into one of his notebooks, the Zibaldone Magliabechiano, under the title De Maumeth propheta Saracenorum.
[9] The so-called fifth biography of Pope Clement V (1305–1314) and the fourth of John XXII (1316–1334) are in fact extracts from the Satirica that circulated independently.
His Provinciale ordinis fratrum minorum catalogues the provinces, custodies and convents of the contemporary Franciscan order.
Paolino is probably also responsible for compiling the Liber privilegiorum ordinis Minorum found in the manuscript Pontificia Biblioteca Antoniana [it], MS 49.
[4] Paolino also wrote an outline of the ecclesiastical provinces and diocese subject to Rome, entitled Provinciale Romanae curiae.
