Note 329 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Siguença, Hist. de la Orden de San Geronimo, parte III. pp. 200, 201.
Siguença's work, which combines much curious learning with a simple elegance of style, was the fruit of many years of labor. The third volume, containing the part relating to the emperor, appeared in 1605, the year before the death of its author, who, as already noticed, must have had daily communication with several of the monks, when, after Charles's death, they had been transferred from Yuste to the gloomy shades of the Escorial.
