Vox absentiae: tracce di un archivio conventuale disperso e distrutto. Santa maria delle Grazie di bergamo (OFM Obs.)

The ancient archive of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Bergamo, of the Order of Friars Minor of the Observance, is now lost. The contribution presents the founding act of the convent, dating back to 1422, but survived only in the modern transcription of an authentic copy of the end of the century XV or the beginning of the century XVI. The persons named are traced in the documents, in particular the notary of the original act and the notary of the certified copy. Finally, a testament of 1474 by a young Bergamasco about to enter the order, right in the convent of Graces, is illustrated
