(EDIT: Christ, how do I actually make this a discussion page? Oh geez...someone that understands how to use Wiki, help?)

This set doesn't actually have much of anything in common with Chronicles except for the timing of the release. Comparing the lists of cards, I can't find any two cards that match. As far as I can tell, this is a list of cards that were going to be reprinted in Fourth Edition, but could not until they received foreign versions released, first. Thus, determining Rarity is incredibly difficult without WotC's Card List (which is not available). I call into question the legitimacy of the common/uncommon/rarity breakdown provided on this page, due to a lack of supporting information, although if someone could provide it, many props will be given.

(I have actually never posted anything on Wiki before, so I will refrain from trying to edit anything and making myself look even more idiotic)

You've got it! And hey, welcome to the MTGS Wiki!
Posting to an article's talk page is a great start if all you can do is cast doubt on the article. However, if you can source better information, or if you want to simply clean up the article, be bold. Make that edit! If someone can prove your new information wrong, they can overwrite it - but even if that process just reverts the article back to how it was, plus a new, accurate source, the article is improved, and that's our goal here. I don't have a source, nor do I have a dog in this fight, but if you're interested, do what you can! Corveroth (talk) 00:09, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Welcome, indeed! You're right, this might need some work. Someone started the page Renaissance/Reprints four years ago, but that wasn't finished either. We could merge those pages. On the other hand, maybe we should even give rinacimento its own page. Here are the cardlists and rarities for reference:
