	The Islamic World to 1600: The Rise of the Great Islamic Empires (Ottomans: Recovery and Renewed Conquest)
		While their use of firearms increased, so did their naval capabilities.
		A war with Venice, a naval power, in the 1440s led to the development of an Ottoman navy, and by 1442 the Ottoman Empire had 60 ships at Gallipoli and 100 river vessels on the Danube.
		The rapid growth of the Ottoman navy in fact forced the Venetians to strengthen their own fleet.

	The Birth of the Tarot (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although there is one intriguing reference from about 1420 to cards with allegorical pictures of animals, it is not until the 1440s that references to triumph cards begin to appear, and such references are found in every decade thereafter.
		Secondly, the letter confirms that the triumph cards were being manufactured and sold for general use; they were not strictly expensive art objects commissioned by the royalty, like the few decks surviving from this period are.
		The absence of any mention of them in earlier documents pertaining to cards, however, means that they could not have been too old at the time of these first references.

	Bremen Piracy and Scottish Periphery
		It was against this background that one further manifestation of maritime insecurity occurred in the 1440s.
		For most of the campaign mounted in the 1440s it was, however, Burgundians and their property which were the principal targets of Bremen's aggression.
		And again, in the years before 1444, a number of Scottish traders were dealing in English cloth in both the London and Sandwich precincts, while a John Howieson, perhaps the same Leith skipper who was involved in the 1444 incident, was dealing in cloth at Yarmouth in 1436-37.

	Florilegium urbanum - London alderman
		There exists a set of twenty-six colour portraits, carried out in the late 1440s, probably by a royal herald (hence the heraldic style).
		The subjects, all similarly posed, are dressed in their aldermannic liveries and each proudly displays his heraldic arms.
		The Hugh Clopton who was an alderman and mayor during the reign of Henry VII was no relation, as far as we can tell.

		The brimless "acorn" style cap was worn by men in northern Europe throughout the second half of the fifteenth-century.
		Although the height of the crown varied depending on the social class of the wearer and the current fashion, the basic style itself changed very little from the late 1440s to the 1490s.
		The earliest depictions of this style cape as an item of lay men's dress date from the late 1440s and early 1450s.

	Florilegium urbanum - York guildhall
		Its site is unknown but may have been the same as the Guildhall known to exist by the beginning of Richard II's reign, sitting on the northern bank of the Ouse.
		The shell of the present structure is a replacement, whose construction got underway in the 1440s; the new hall, 96 feet long and 43 feet wide, was sufficiently complete by 1459 for it to be used for a council meeting.
		Badly damaged by incendiary bombs during the Second World War, the hall's wooden roof, its supporting pillars, and the painted decorative bosses are reproductions of the medieval originals.

		A shift from bleeding Africa through slavery to resident colonialism was ordained in Berlin in 1884.
		Since the 1440s, the Africans were globalised as slaves all over the world.

		The statue, believed to be a work from the 1440s, was first put on display in the courtyard of the Palazzo Medici, the fortress-like building that Cosimo de’ Medici built for himself when he dominated political and banking life in Florence.
		It was under Cosimo, in the 1440s, that the Medici bank reached the height of its powers.
		After him, as the bank over-extended its credit to kings, princes, lords and cardinals, things went inexorably downhill and the bank was shut down in 1494, only 97 years after its foundation.

	Did you know: Food History
		As fresh meat consumption declined, the salting of meat grew to supply the men of many ships and to form a part of the meager diet of the poor.
		Salt meat was important for the crews now beginning to reach the Indies through the Indian Ocean and the ships creeping down the coast of West Africa after Henry the Navigator’s first foray in the 1440s, not to mention the crews about to explode across the Atlantic to discover another world.
		Salt meat often took the form of sausages, and the sausage peddler in Italian towns was a familiar character.

		The use of the pedigree to further these aims is not original with the Yorkists.
		During the 1440s, when it was obvious that the Lancastrian dynasty was faltering, a number of genealogies were created to demonstrate the superiority of the Lancastrian claim to the throne.
		One surviving example goes so far as to omit Edward III's second son Lionel of Antwerp, duke of Clarence, entirely in an apparent attempt to forestall any claims to inheritance of the throne by descent from an older son of Edward III -- since the Lancastrians claimed descent from third son John of Gaunt.

		Madonna and Child, early-mid 1440s, Filippo Lippi, tempera on panel, 80 cm x 51 cm, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The first study is the National Gallery of Art Madonna and Child.
		The figures are brought to the foreground by their placement in front of the linear architecture, and by the shadows cast to the right rear from the imagined light source of the front left.
		Continuing with the same theme, Fra Lippi has been attributed with the painting of the Madonna and Child, which resides in the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland.

	The Digital Roman Forum Project of the UCLA Cultural Virtual Reality Laboratory
		Poggio’s slightly younger colleague in the papal chancellery, Flavio Biondo, continued these topographical studies with the publication in the late 1440s of Roma Instaurata, or Rome Restored.
		It is unknown whether Biondo planned to enhance his verbal reconstruction of ancient Rome with illustrations or at least a map.
		As far as we know, the great Florentine architect, Leon Battista Alberti, was not aware of the work of Poggio or Biondo when he wrote his Descriptio urbis Romae in the 1440s.

		Begun in the same year was the more complex Barbadori Altarpiece (completed 1438, Paris, Louvre), a sacra conversazione in a triptych form modified to read as one unified space.
		From the 1440s onwards there developed a movement towards a lighter, more linear, more graceful style (such as is seen in the contemporary sculptures of Desiderio, della Robbia and Rossellino).
		This can be seen in Lippi's Annunciation (mid-1440s), still on the altar for which it was commissioned in S. Lorenzo.
