Note 508 — Chapter VI · THE FURTHERERS OF HUMANISM.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
We must not be misled by the fact that along with all this complaints were frequently heard of the inadequacy of princely patronage and of the indifference of many princes to their fame. See e.g. Bapt. Mantan, Eclog. v. as early as the fifteenth century; and Ambrogio Traversari, De Infelicitate Principum. It was impossible to satisfy all.
