Note 1164 — Chapter IV · MIXTURE OF ANCIENT AND MODERN SUPERSTITION.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
It was in such a moment of resolution that Ludovico Moro had the cross with this inscription made, which is now in the Minster at Chur. Sixtus IV. too once said that he would try if the proverb was true. On this saying of the astrologer Ptolemæus, which B. Fazio took to be Virgilian, see Laur. Valla, Opera, p. 461.
