Purports to be the first critical account, comparing documentary testimony and oral tradition, of the 1529 armed conspiracy of Sigismondo di Luna, Conte di Calzabillotta, and the majority of the nobility of Sciacca, Sicily, against Giacomo Perollo, barone di Pandolfina. While the Luna-Perollo feud was a hundred years old, the 1529 conflict seemed to have elements of anti-Spanish revolt, and Luna and his allies were punished accordingly. The last paragraph suggests that this account was largely taken from an earlier version by Padre F. Angelo Candela of the Fransciscan order.
