Note 1253 — Chapter IV · MIXTURE OF ANCIENT AND MODERN SUPERSTITION.

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

Bandello, iii. nov. 52. Fr. Filelfo (Epist. Venet. lib. 34, fol. 240 sqq.) attacks nercromancy fiercely. He is tolerably free from superstition (Sat. iv. 4) but believes in the ‘mali effectus,’ of a comet (Epist. fol. 246 b).
