Note 251 — Chapter II · THE IMPRIMATUR FOR THE “DIALOGUES.”
G. (George) Sturge translation
Marini, p. 127. Pieralisi tries to convince the reader that Ciampoli acted quite despotically in the matter; and says that when Riccardi refers to “the Pope,” it was not Maffeo Barberini, but Mgr. Ciampoli, “Giovanni Ciampoli non Maffeo Barberini era il Papa”! p. 113, a statement which, considering Urban’s despotic character and the absence of historical proof, appears very arbitrary.
