CsonTtosı 1890, 40. Csontosi assumed that the Dresden codex was a copy of the incunabulum, simply

Csaropi 1973, Nr. 688.; It should be noted that Csapodi was not aware of the spread out debate about
the authorship of the images. One hypothesis is that the author is Matteo de’ Pasti, whose patron was
Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini (see Donari, a cura di, I/ potere, le arti, la Guerra,
2011). According to Corrado Ricci, the decorator of the Tempio Malatestiano, the codex, and the
incunabulum are not the same person, but he assumes that Matteo de’ Pasti took a manuscript with him
to Constantinople as a gift from his master Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatestiano to Sultan Muhammad
II (Rıccı 1925). However, Ropaxiew1Tz 1940, 17. says it is unlikely. Nonetheless, Matteo was indeed
in Constantinople at the invitation of the Sultan. Cf. BaBINGER 1951. See also SAKASIAN 1939.
