Note 261 — Chapter XVI
Reading edition
Sanuto's MS. Diary, Bib. Marc., vol. II., 466-71, 489, 495, 587-98. Compare with Burchard, Eccard., II., 2060; Tommasi, I., 223-43. Burchard has no trace of that partiality for Cesare at this period, usually imputed to the Pontiff, but establishes an excessive fondness for his elder brother up to his death. Roscoe rejects the charge against the Cardinal; his German translator credits it.
