Note 323 — Chapter III · THE MODERN IDEA OF FAME.

S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation

‘De Remediis Utriusque Fortunæ’ in the editions of the works. Often printed separately, e.g. Bern, 1600. Compare Petrarch’s famous dialogue, ‘De Contemptu Mundi’ or ‘De Conflictu Curarum Suarum,’ in which the interlocutor Augustinus blames the love of fame as a damnable fault.
