The present definitive edition containing 133 'ricordi' was edited by Zaccaria Bellenghi Fra Sabba's chaplain in Faenza shortly after the latter's death.

The woodcut is emblematic of Sabba's monastic life conducted within the Order's parameters of social utility. He presents an iconographic image of the devout humanist knight who prefers the tranquility of his Commenda to the bustle of the city see also D.

The other 'ricordi' were developed into true small treatises or essays that Castiglione expanded and augmented in every new edition.

He was born in Milan around 1480 where he also became his first. education. He pursued post-secondary studies at the University of Padua studying jurisprudence from about 1500 to late spring 1505 but did not finish his legal education. After a brief stay in Mantua in 1505 at the age of 25 he decided to join the Order of the Knights of Jerusalem later called Knights of Malta of which he soon became Deputy Attorney General. He lived in Rhodes until 1508 then moved to Rome where he sojourned seven years as legal aide-de-camp to the admiral of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller and later Grand Master Fabrizio del Carretto cultivating his interest in the arts and literature. In Rome he also met his cousin Baldassare Castiglione author of Il <i>Cortegiano</i>. Fra Sabba was a passionate forerunner of archaeology and during his stay on the Aegean Sea he was able to procure several ancient marble pieces to Isabella d'Este in Mantua. In 1515 at the age of thirty-five Fra Sabba became a Hospitaller commander accepting a post previously held by his friend Giulio de' Medici the future Pope Clement VII. He took up residence at the Order's Commenda or commandery a district headquarters similar to a feudal estate in Faenza Romagna part of the Papal States. He accepted this post to better dedicate himself to the studies he loved so much away from mundane affairs the intrigues of courts and military life. His residence in Faenza was the Church of Commenda Saint Mary Magdalene also called 'Magione' dating back to the XII century. It was not in good conditions when Fra Sabba came. This was due to the fact that previous commanders had not chosen the complex of the Commenda as their own living place employing their revenues for other purposes. In 1533 Fra Sabba entrusted Girolamo da Treviso with the task to embellish the church with a fresco portraying the 'Enthroned Madonna between Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Catherine of Alexandria'. Another work of art of great importance accomplished in the year of his death is the one painted by Francesco Menzocchi from Forlì: a monochrome fresco depicting him as an old man presented by Saint Joseph to the Virgin. Underneath this image lies Fra Sabba's sepulchre with a Latin epigraph composed by himself. His interests as a man of study and collector gave birth to a library unfortunately lost and to a collection of pieces of art whose surviving items are to be seen in the Pinacoteca Comunale of Faenza F.
