Note 695 — Chapter III · THE DISCOVERY OF NATURAL BEAUTY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
We may also compare Platina, Vitae Pontiff. p. 310: ‘Homo fuit (Pius II.) verus, integer, apertus; nil habuit ficti, nil simulati’—an enemy of hypocrisy and superstition, courageous and consistent. See Voigt, ii. 261 sqq. and iii. 724. He does not, however, give an analysis of the character of Pius.
