Note 755 — Chapter III

Reading edition

The expression papasantimio was erroneously translated “most holy Pope” by Paoli and Fea, but their mistake was long since pointed out. Maitland, and Bishop Kip who followed him, fell into the same error. De Rossi severely criticises the former as “most ignorant of the whole controversy, known even to blear-eyed and barbers.”—Totius controversiæ, vel lippis ac tonsoribus notæ, ignarissimus.—Inscrip. Antiq., p. 177. The translation above given is that of Dr. McCaul.
