Note 472 — Chapter IV · HUMANISM IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Purgatorio, xviii. contains striking instances. Mary hastens over the mountains, Cæsar to Spain; Mary is poor and Fabricius disinterested. We may here remark on the chronological introduction of the Sibyls into the profane history of antiquity as attempted by Uberti in his Dittamondo (i. cap. 14, 15), about 1360.
