Note 1243 — Chapter IV · MIXTURE OF ANCIENT AND MODERN SUPERSTITION.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Polydorus Virgilius was an Italian by birth, but his work De Prodigiis treats chiefly of superstition in England, where his life was passed. Speaking of the prescience of the dæmons, he makes a curious reference to the sack of Rome in 1527.
