Notable members included: *Domenico Grimani: (1461-1523) (Cardinal Patriarch of Venice), owner of the Grimani Breviary (below). *Antonio Grimani: Doge 1521-1523. *Vincenzo Grimani: Cardinal and opera librettist (1652-1710) *Morosina Morosini-Grimani (1545-1614) wife of Doge Marino Grimani *Domenico Grimani: (Bishop and Patriarch of Aquileia,1498-1517) *Marino Grimani: (Bishop and Patriarch of Aquileia, 1517-1529) *Marino Grimani: Doge 1595-1606. *Giovanni Grimani: translator of Vitruvius.# *Pietro Grimani, Doge 1741–1752. Edmund Grimani Hornby (1825-1896) Chief Judge of the British Supreme Consular Court at Constantinople and British Supreme Court for China and Japan was descended from the Grimani family on his mother's side. The following structures are associated with the family: *Villa Gazzotti Grimani: (Vicenza, by Palladio) *Palazzo Grimani: (Grand Canal of Venice) *Grimani Chapel: San Francesco della Vigna, Venice *Teatro Malibran - see below ==The Grimani Breviary== The Grimani Breviary, long in the library of San Marco, Venice, is a key work in the late history of Flemish illuminated manuscripts. It was produced in Ghent and Bruges ca 1515-1520 and by 1520 owned, though possibly not originally commissioned, by Cardinal Domenico Grimani. Several leading artists, including Simon Bening, the Master of James IV of Scotland and Gerard David contributed some of their finest work to it.〔T Kren & S McKendrick (eds), ''Illuminating the Renaissance: The Triumph of Flemish Manuscript Painting in Europe'', Getty Museum/Royal Academy of Arts, pp. 420-424 & passim, 2003, ISBN 1-903973-28-7〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grimani family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
