Note 519 — Chapter IX · 489 THE FLORENTINE REPUBLIC IN DANTE'S TIME.
Linda Villari translation
Prof. Del Lungo, with his usual careful research, notes that all the exiled were Grandi. Levi, in repeating the remark (at p. 59), considers this a singular fact, "seeing that the evil germs of discord had then spread through the mass of the citizens." Yet the fact seems easily accounted for by the circumstances related above.
