Note 1199 — Chapter IV · MIXTURE OF ANCIENT AND MODERN SUPERSTITION.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Many instances of such superstitions in the case of the last Visconti are mentioned by Decembrio (Murat. xx. col. 1016 sqq.). Odaxius says in his speech at the burial of Guidobaldo (Bembi Opera, i. 598 sqq.), that the gods had announced his approaching death by thunderbolts, earthquakes, and other signs and wonders.
