Descriptive card

A judge and "podestà" originary from Mantua, with a rich humanistic culture, Antonio da Crema (1435-1489) is also the author of an "Itinerario al Santo Sepolcro" particulary interesting for its references to Islam and the Qur'an, echoing Riccoldo da Monte di Croce's "Contra legem sarracenorum".
