Nine months later the lord of Ravenna received the first complete copy of the Divina Commedia, made by Jacopo Alighieri from his father's autograph. A very curious incident is related by Boccaccio in connection with this.
And even as Andrea was assisted by Jacopo in executing the predella, so also was he aided by him in finishing the many pictures and works that Andrea continually had in hand.
Zorzi felt that a number of persons were in the hall immediately behind the speaker. "For the Lord Jacopo Contarini," he answered. "I have a message and a token to deliver." "From whom?" "I will tell that to his lordship," replied Zorzi. "I am Contarini," replied the voice, and the speaker felt for Zorzi's face in the darkness, and brought it near his ear.

Kneel, Jacopo, that I may ask of God, once more, to remember thee." "I am at thy side, father." The old man raised his feeble arms, and with a voice whose force appeared reviving, he pronounced a fervent and solemn benediction. "The blessing of a dying parent will sweeten thy life, Jacopo," he added after a pause, "and give peace to thy last moments." "It will do the latter, father."
