ON B. HENRY OF BOLZANO,

AT TREVISO IN THE VENETIAN DOMINION.

THE YEAR 1315.

PRELIMINARY COMMENTARY.

On the writers of the Life and miracles, with a synopsis of the Acts, from the panegyric of Balthasar Bonifacius.

Henry of Bolzano, at Treviso in the Venetian dominion (B.)

BY THE AUTHOR D. P.

[1] Bolzano, a renowned town of the County of Tyrol, between Trent and Brixen, carried from Bolzano to Treviso, commonly called Bolzano, gave to this world B. Henry, of whom we have undertaken to treat; and of whom in Philip Ferrarius, in the Catalogue of the Saints of Italy, this eulogy, or epitome of his Life, is extant. Henry, born of Bolzano or Bauzanum, as a youth held in hatred by the heretics, came to dwell at Treviso: where seeking his living by the labor of his hands, he cultivated works of piety. The citizens admired his humility, modesty, and wondrous patience in enduring injuries: since indeed he was never seen to be disturbed. Frequently visiting pious places, he was present at the divine offices: subtracting even from his gain the things necessary to himself, and giving alms, he sustained the needy: the sacred sermons, the sacrament of Penance, and the sacred Eucharist he frequented with devotion: after signs of great virtue having died there, clad in a hair-shirt and mean garment, with little cords and an iron scourge he flagellated his body, and beat his breast with a stone. When, worn with old age and leaning on a staff, he visited the churches according to custom; it happened that a sudden and copious rain descended; he shines with miracles: on account of which, while the rest fled away under porches, Henry alone, praying under the open sky before certain images of the Saints,

was found not touched by even a drop of the rain. Finally, when the end of his life had come, he rendered his soul to God, in the year from the Virgin's bringing forth 1315, the bells of the Cathedral church, in which he was buried, sounding of their own accord beyond measure. To whose body, before it was carried to burial, the blind, the dumb, and those pressed by various languors, running up, obtained health. His feast day is kept at Treviso with no mean solemnity.

[2] There was in the same century also another holy Henry, who near Verona led an eremitic life, deceased in the year 1350, and having his name inscribed in the Veronese tablets on the 30th of June, distinct from the Veronese S. Henry as the aforesaid Ferrarius testifies in the Annotation subjoined to the eulogy already described; because at Verona his body was found on this day in the year of the Lord 1407, in the place of S. Felix on the mount, and is kept in the church of S. John in the Font with iron chains and an iron scourge. But since the people of Treviso so vindicate their Henry to themselves, that they never confess his body to have been taken away; nor does there appear any occasion either of a translation to be made, or any testimony of one made; though confused with him by others. and the year of death differs, which Raphael Bagata, Archpriest of Verona, brings forth in his book on the Saints of Verona; we deservedly judge that the persons are to be distinguished, confused by Ferrarius on account of mere homonymy: at whom it is a wonder that he did not suspect this, since the one of whom he had spoken at the 30th of June, that in the Ecclesiastical tablets of Treviso his birthday is hitherto read by no means noted; he afterward referred in the general Catalogue to the 10th of June in these words; At Treviso in Venetia, of B. Henry the Confessor; and in the Notes he wrote, that he gives him from the Tablets of the Church of Treviso, although by ecclesiastical Office he is not there venerated.

[3] That no Office is performed, yet that the feast is celebrated with no mean solemnity Ferrarius had already before said, and that from the Life printed in the year 1600, which he professes to have been reduced by him into an epitome. Balthasar Bonifacius, Archdeacon and Vicar General of Treviso, afterward Bishop of Justinopolis or of Capodistria, The earlier ones who wrote the Life, formed a sacred Panegyric concerning the same Blessed one in the year 1647; and this Simon de Ponte the printer published in the year 1653: and prefixed to it a list of the Authors writing of Henry in this order: Peter Baonius wrote the Life of B. Henry in the Latin tongue in the year 1381, a Paduan by origin of the Counts of Baonius, first a Canon, afterward Bishop of Treviso (from the year 1359 to 1383 and beyond), even as in book 7 and 11 of the History of Treviso John Bonifacius affirms, Peter Baonius Bishop of Treviso, who calls him not simply Peter, but Peter Paul. Where there is a manifest equivocation: for he himself in the Prologue to the Life, of which presently, names himself not Peter Paul; but Peter Dominic de Baono; and Ughellus, for the year 1344 brings forth an inscription of a marble tablet, by which it is established that in that year an altar was consecrated, by the Reverend in Christ Father and Lord, D. Peter Paul by the grace of God Bishop of Treviso; to whom he subjoins a certain one simply Peter deceased in the year 1350, and finally, after three other intermediate ones, Peter of the Counts of Baonius: who in the year 1359 by Innocent VI, which he himself also indicates in the aforesaid Prologue, was set over that Church. And of this one Bonifacius from the aforepraised Panegyric page 19 thus speaks. The author of the Life Peter, when Henry was dying, was still a youngster, but familiar with the Bishop of that time, and knew the holy man, and was present at his death, which from the Life num. 22 received will appear.

[4] under whom was formed the process for Canonization, The same Bonifacius then page 79; The most Christian Republic of Treviso, knowing that the holy Church is wont to canonize those whose innocence and integrity of manners, with the testimony of miracles concurring, is proved worthy of public veneration; at the time when B. Henry had gloriously passed to immortal life, had recourse to the authority of Peter Baonius its Bishop: who, with the Canons and Elders assisting him, undertook to form a Process concerning the miracles which that great servant of God daily worked; and the writings of that Process are kept in the archive of the Cathedral church. But before, page 53, when he had said, that from the 10th of July, on which the Blessed one died, even to the 5th of July there had been numbered the anathemas and monuments of the miracles performed at the intercession of B. Henry to four hundred fifty, he had appealed to the Acts of Antony Baonius, Chancellor of Bishop Salomonius, from the Acts of the miracles written immediately after his death: (namely of Castellanus de Salomone, under whom the Blessed one died, and who from the year 1304 to the 22nd had ruled the Church of Treviso) and the Protocols of Gerard de Merlo, Secretary of the Republic of Treviso, deputed to register the already said miracles, under the direction and inspection of Bartholomew Castilionius, Decretalist and designated Examiner. Those Acts and Protocols, long sought in vain, at length found the most studious of our affairs, the Procurator of the College of Padua, Father John Baptist Romagnoli, which are given with the Life. and commended to Father Raymond Mary Raimundi at Venice to be transcribed; which when he had done with his own hand, he sent to us all things in the year 1692, together with the aforesaid most ancient Life, such as below we shall give, and after this also those. It is moreover a book altogether of that time, written in the so-called Lombardic, or rather Teutonic, letter on parchment, of the common folio form, and is kept in the Chapter Archive of the Church of Treviso.

[5] The second Author named in the said List is John Bonifacius, Assessor, who described the Life, death, and miracles of B. Henry, in book 7 of the History of Treviso, printed at Treviso at the press of Dominic Amici in the year 1591. And this History is hitherto desired by us, Afterward John Bonifacius wrote as likely to be of use both here and elsewhere. The third is Nicholas Maurus, Jurisconsult, who in paraphrase rendered the Life into the vernacular, from the Latin of Bishop Baonius, and published it from the Trevisan press of Evangelista Deuchino in the year 1600. and Nicholas Maurus (from whom the epitome in Ferrarius) The fourth is reckoned Bartholomew Burchalati, Physician and Philosopher, who in book 1 on the memorable things of Treviso inserted a eulogy of the Blessed one, and published it there through Angelo Righettini, in the year 1616. There are named besides Raphael Bagata, and Philip Ferrarius: and at the end it is said, that above the little door of the cell of B. Henry, in the Bonifacian house, which itself also preserves the name of B. Henry, and others, in ancient and vanishing characters, but by Burchalati restored to their first integrity page 220, this inscription is read: The last place of holy life of the Blessed Confessor, Inscription of the cell. Henry of Bolzano; whence on the 10th day of June, 1315, all the Trevisans of their own accord ringing the bells, God commanding, he sought the eternal things: whose innumerable and stupendous miracles illustriously adorned Treviso.

[6] Moreover Balthasar Bonifacius does not approve, in the paraphrase of Maurus, and so neither in the epitome of Ferrarius, Who the heretics were in his time, that Henry, vexed by the hatred of heretics in his own fatherland, is said to have withdrawn to Treviso; for who, he says page 17, were the heretics in Germany, a hundred years before, than that, infected with the Wycliffite heresy drunk in among the English, John Hus and Jerome of Prague began to scatter their tares, at length to be burned in the Constance fires? He prefers therefore to believe the report, narrating that, by the express command of God, after the manner of another Abraham, Henry went out of his land and his kindred. For my part I confess that it cannot be definitely demonstrated, that there were then at Bolzano, much less that any heretics so prevailed: yet that the 13th century and the Alpine parts labored not lightly under an evil of this kind, by whom he may be believed to have been driven from his fatherland, the unceasing labor of the Apostolic Inquisitors in those times and parts teaches, some of whom also crowned their zeal with martyrdom; first of all S. Peter of the Order of Preachers, crowned in the year 1252 in the parts of Milan, before whose Acts on the 29th of April §. I, we treated of the heretics, Cathari, Patarines or New Manichaeans, whose sect, spread through Italy and Germany, was so defamed, that for signifying heretics our Belgic tongue has no other word than Ketters, a name probably left from the Cathari. Yet since Bishop Baonius says nothing of heretics, nor mentions any vexation at all; I will easily suffer faith here to be derogated from Maurus, as having spoken from his own conjecture.

[7] The same Maurus, by the testimony of Balthasar Bonifacius, affirms, that Henry lived married in his own fatherland, his wife being already dead, but preserved virginity with his spouse: who being dead, he came to Treviso, to lead a widowed and solitary life: but his first reception, Bonifacius says page 20, was in the ancient houses, now Episcopal, which then Jacob Castaniolus the Notary possessed; which when afterward they had passed into the right of John Bonifacius, his paternal uncle, the little crypt of so pious a man was a matter of admiration, only seven feet broad, nine long, and the same most dark, his little crypt at Treviso, inasmuch as into it through a tiny opening only a dim little light entered: whence although it was consequent that a fetid and heavy air should be had there; yet the place remained wholesome and dry, and breathing perpetually a sweet odor. Which little crypt when afterward in the year 1647 the Archdeacon himself, by his office of General Vicar, had visited; he took care that it be illumined by windows opened therein: with a threefold penitential bed, when also on the walls there appeared more distinctly painted there of old, the Mother of God with her Son, Michael the Archangel, Jacob the Patriarch, Matthew the Evangelist, and the Virgin and Martyr Catharine; those who knew the family conjecturing from probability, that the lord of the place, as he had caused to be painted there his own Patron and his wife's, so also expressed the Patrons of his father and father-in-law. There Henry had three little beds disposed, which he used by turns. One woven of knotted cords; the second, latticed and made of twigs; the third, to be laid under only rarely and for an infirm body, of hay and straw: his other relics in the Cathedral. for which he had as a pillow an oaken trunk, of not more than one foot. But the rough staff, which he used to support his aged limbs, together with the scourge and other penitential instruments, is kept in the treasury of the cathedral edifice.

[8] How severe a tamer of his senses he was, is proved from this; that in the sacramental Confession, which he made daily, almost nothing graver occurred which he might accuse, than that he had taken a little delight from the sight of a certain greening meadow, A severe guardian of his senses, through which perhaps he had passed, or from the song of the little birds. But when sometime, a crowd of little women being seen, catching river crabs, he had felt an appetite for them; he asked from one of them, passing by with full baskets, that some be given to him; and the not-least ones received he put within his garment and his flesh; where, to be pinched by their claws and legs, he kept them so long as they lived; and afterward bore the stench of the dead ones longer. He himself was of small stature, but well composed in body. For clothing he used a gray cloth, woven of rough tow, which little hairy cords woven beneath ran through, in the manner of a hair-shirt: which when they had hardened with sweat, it happened that the tailor, about to mend the torn garment, broke a needle in them; how rigid a clothing he used: a part of which fixed in his thumb, a spasm

with immense torment soon brought on; but when Henry had signed with the Cross the ill-affected finger, at once both he drew out the needle from the wound and expelled the torment. Drawers or breeches he used in the same way netted, nor was there for him any other inner garment; but the upper cloak was tight, reaching from the shoulder even to the knees: but he went always with shins and soles bare, his head covered with a mean and ashen little cap, and altogether such as is expressed in mosaic in the church under the lamps of the Canons: whose expressed likeness I would have wished to give you here, if I could have obtained the delineation often sought.

[9] The honorable burial of the deceased Henry died in the year 1315, on the 10th day of June, about the third hour, on the third feria, when over the Veronese, with the title of Podestà, ruled Magnus della Branca; the Bishop, however, being Castellanus Salamonius. The Body covered with a rich cloth stood in the greater edifice, brought thither with many torches, until a marble chest was fabricated, having borders of porphyry and serpentine stone, with alabaster figures, representing Christ the Savior, Prosdocimus, and very many other Saints resting in the same church, Theonistus, Thabra and Thabrata Martyrs, Florentius and Vindemialis Pontiffs, Liberalis Confessor, and Henry himself. These are the things which, the Tutelaries of the Trevisans around the tomb: besides those already before alleged or to be read in the epitome of Ferrarius, I have been able to gather from the Bonifacian Panegyric, to which I add from the Saints with whose little statues the mausoleum of Henry is adorned, that S. Prosdocimus the Bishop, disciple of the Apostle Peter, is believed by the Trevisans converted by him to have built a church, to be named to the Mother of God, had he not, taught by the martyrdom of his master by an Angelic revelation, changed his counsel, whence now the primary Patron is there held to be Peter: but how difficult this is to be believed for that age, so certain it is that S. Prosdocimus himself is venerated on the 7th of November; that Theonestus of Altino, a Martyr under the Arians, is inscribed in the Roman Martyrology on the 30th of October; but with his companions is commemorated at Altino on the 22nd of November. Of Florentius and Vindemialis we have already treated on the 9th of June; and of S. Liberalis on the 27th of April, where also was treated of the translation of the body to Treviso.

BLESSED HENRY OF TREVISO

[10] Bishop Baonius treats of that chest in the Life, num. 18 and 24, and there describes both its ornament, and says it was translated, together with the sacred body contained within, in the time of the Bishop next succeeding Castellanus, Ubaldino de Gabrielibus, who sat from the year 1323 to the 34th: translated moreover to the place of the middle of the church, opposite to which Baonius himself caused to be built a chapel of the Most Holy Trinity, where at that very altar, which had before been built there in sight of the chest, the first Mass at dawn is continually celebrated, to the praise of God and for the memory and reverence of B. Rigus: for so often, by the usage of the common people, the name of Henry is abbreviated. The delineation of the same chest I indeed sought to have sculpted in brass, but have not yet obtained it. the ancient effigy: Meanwhile see the ancient effigy of the Saint from the prototype of the distinguished sculptress Sister Isabella Piccini now adapted to this work, such as in his time it was wont to be painted, in the accustomed habit of the holy man, as Baonius testifies n. 6. In that chest moreover from its first placing the body remained unmoved and no longer beheld by anyone, the inspection of the incorrupt body made in the year 1381. even to the year of Christ 1381, the 22nd of Bishop Baonius; when on the anniversary day of his death it was solemnly shown wholly entire in its members, and filled with a wondrous and most sweet odor.

[11] Among the more recent writers moreover, B. Henry also is mentioned with praise, but between him and the Veronese they distinguish nothing, Abraham Bzovius at the year 1315 n. 15, Other writers concerning him. where he describes Ferrarius word for word, with the Life alleged which he also alleges; and Matthew Raderus volume 2 of Holy Bavaria p. 329, where the same Life seems to be alleged, when it is said that the studies of his life, and his manners and virtues sent into public Acts, and published abroad into the world a few years ago, to be drawn back from the year 1624, in which that volume came forth. The image expressed by the graver of Raphael Sadelerius which is there added, representing the tomb of the Saint, on whose lid he himself is seen sculpted, with prolix gray hair and an Eremitical beard; which aptly shows the running-up of pilgrims to the sepulcher; does so little for our matter, who require not images elaborated with great art, but the true lineaments of things, such as it is sufficiently apparent are not present in that tomb or effigy from the truer description of the tomb; since the Sadelerian image has none of those figures which are there named.

BY THE AUTHOR P. D. BISHOP OF TREVISO, FROM A MS.

PREFACE.

[1] While the sacred histories, and the lives and deeds of holy men, who have passed from this world, are read with devout and diligent devotion, The Author considering the profit, and we contemplate them with due studies; the Catholic faith is strengthened, edification is delivered to minds, the spirit is kindled to things above, and receives the increase of manifold consolation. And therefore we see human praises and the heraldings of mortals, sometimes even written engraved in brass, and sometimes in radiating letters commended to the memory of posterity. For if those had not preceded, who wrote such things, and so many, and so great; mortal posterity would have been altogether deprived of fruitful doctrines and examples, and our faith might too much have incurred a defect. arising from the Acts of the Saints, And attending to these things, we wonder, why we are not ashamed to deliver to silence the merits of perfect men, which are known to us; and not to take care to set forth, to the praise of the Creator of all, how they lived in this world, and fought against enemies and vices. Hence is the praise of God, when these things are read: hence honor is exhibited to the Saints; hence to the unfaithful is born grief, to the unbelieving envy, to the undisciplined anguish: the devil groans, and joy is generated to the faithful of Christ.

[2] he proposes to himself to write things certainly known With these considerations therefore, and very many others which might be adduced, I Peter Dominic de Baono, Bishop of Treviso, though unworthy; for a long time even while I was a Canon of this church, but more fervently after I came to this dignity, I being ignorant of it, by the proper motion and provision of Lord Pope Innocent VI of happy memory, the divine grace bestowing it; revolving in my mind, how unbecoming, how unfitting, and of how great ingratitude it had been and was, that the illustrious merits and wondrous works, which the heavenly providence in blessed Henry, concerning B. Henry. by origin of Bolzano, and dwelling long times at Treviso, both while he himself lived, and also at his death, and after, showed and clearly manifested, should have been silent for so long a time, and still negligently be silent; I disposed, although unskilled and insufficient for undertaking so great a work, to supply the negligence of past men, indeed of able men, presiding hitherto and beneficed in that very church, with all due reverence, according to my measure, to bring forth in writing the things which I saw and beheld with my eyes and heard of the aforesaid blessed man, for the perpetual memory of those to come; lest so many and so great things concerning him slip into oblivion: since today no one consists in that church, who beyond me can more truly have memory of such things, or better remember.

CHAPTER I.

The life holily lived at Treviso by Henry, and commonly esteemed as such: likewise certain miracles.

[3] Who first living by the labor of his hands, Moreover this venerable man, his own fatherland left, came to Treviso; and there led his life, persisting in sweats and labors, as he could, for a long time; and of those things which he gained from his labors, he gave out his portion, and continually bore a devout mind, and more secretly attended to divine works. At length advancing in age, and beginning to be destitute of bodily strength, nor being able after the accustomed manner to acquire the aliments of the body; he transferred himself to the contemplative life; and from alms, then by the alms of the pious, as much as necessity required, refreshing his body, whatever was over to him beyond food, he himself a poor man, gave out to the poor of Christ; retaining nothing to himself for an hour or a day, except as much as a slender man might pass by, of the things mercifully given out to him.

[4] following a sanctity hidden from the crowd, And while thus, as he could, he led his life; a certain Jacob de Castegnolis, a Notary, of good condition and life, having a wife like himself by name Catharine, to whom this blessed Henry was known; having compassion on him, in his own house, set in the district de Panceria, on the right side going toward the gate of the Forty Saints, near enough to the house of the Nuns of S. Mary-new, received him; deputing to him a certain little chamber at the end of the said house, by means of a certain court, in which his abstinence and penance for a long time, even to his death, after the manner of B. Alexius, as below will appear, he led unknown and clandestine. And if perchance the same B. Rigus had failed in acquiring alms; Jacob in his house took care to relieve him.

[5] And because a lamp set on a mountain cannot be hidden; from his outward and devout acts, the fame nevertheless breaking forth little by little, by many he began to be recognized, and charitable supports and alms were proffered to him: and the more he received, the more he divided to the poor. And I recall, that of good memory the Lord and my Predecessor, Lord Castellanus de Salomone, then Bishop of Treviso (who designated me a Cleric, and of whom I was familiar for a long time) through me destined an alms in money to the said venerable man, passing through the square before the Episcopal palace: which, as was the custom, in the cathedral church, which he continually frequented, he gave out to other mendicants. And so of other things given to him (as was the public report) he did continually. Since indeed what within he bore secret, his humility and conversation without more manifestly showed.

[6] He began to be held a Saint, There was in him a certain benign speech, and exceedingly gracious. Always an eager hearer of heavenly things; and if perchance through boys, or some perverse or foolish person, any molestation by word or deed was inflicted upon him, with all patience he humbly bore it, not showing by act or sign, nay rather to those imposing injuries he spoke well. Continually clad in gray cloth: and he wore a washed tabard, and a flat hat, as he is depicted; and a staff, for the support of his body, too much afflicted with fastings and vigils, and other abstinences, as afterward the evidence of the matter taught, he also always carried. For he was small in person, but stout enough; and he had a wife, and also to appear such outwardly. before he transferred himself to this life: in church most devout, and he attended at the divine Offices and especially Masses, always bearing the cord of the Pater-noster in his hands. Both in the Office and elsewhere he rendered his little prayers, according to his own understanding, to the Creator: for he was ignorant of letters. To the preachings also,

both in the cathedral church, and in the places of the Religious, he continually hastened, omitting none, as much as a space of time was free to him; He was assiduous in the churches, and if it had been possible, he would gladly have wished to be present at all; and, as much as he could grasp, like a fervent hearer, he commended to memory. For thus he led his life and acts, and led them as much as he was able secretly; and by a laudable conversation, so that no one could then clearly know, or weigh, his so perfect works, or believe in any way.

[7] Behold another wondrous thing. A man thus aged, and thus afflicted with abstinences, supporting himself with his staff, visited every day all the churches of the suburbs of the city of Treviso; and there poured forth his prayers prostrate on the ground, according to his manner: and, if perchance he had found any one closed, bending his knees before the doors, he prayed more at length. And, as it was then reported, the church of the Hermit Friars after the Cathedral church he often visited; and with the same Friars he conversed, and held familiarity; and so much, as at the time of his death was divulged, especially the Cathedral and the Augustinian; he had judged to be buried among them; but by the negligence of those Friars themselves, or perhaps because he was poor, and this was publicly said, they lacked him. But the Dean and Canons of the church of Treviso, whose custom always was, and is, to go personally and collegially to whatever funerals of their parish, of whatever condition they be; received that venerable body, according to their custom, with all solicitude.

[8] Wont to be present at all the Offices, But all the churches being visited, and every other act whatsoever completed, he always returned to the Cathedral church itself; and for the greater part under the portico in the corner, toward the Episcopal palace, before a certain figure of the blessed virgin Mary there painted, placing and seating himself, and leaning against the stones of the portico, with his hat in his hands, he remained continually; gazing on the aforesaid figure, and praying devoutly, as could be clearly beheld even from the little balcony of the episcopal palace: and how often the aforesaid Prelate, D. Castellanus, destined an alms to him so remaining there. He omitted no divine Office in that church, and was always swiftest at Matins. For he was of so great conscience, that every day either with the Priests of the said church, and chiefly with the Priest John Ricio, Prebendary in the church of Treviso, afterward Rector of S. Agnes, or with the Priest Peter de Zenone, or with the Priest Alexander the Sacristan; and to confess every least thing. and sometimes with the Religious, and especially with the said Hermit Friars, he wished to confess his least sins. Nay, I heard from the said Priest John Ricio, while we held a conversation with each other concerning the life and conversation of that venerable man, among other things saying; that if he had seen, from delight or some curiosity, any bird flying through the air; he straightway confessed it: for already concerning such things and other least matters he had confessed with him.

[9] By many miracles also he shone in life, and there are many others, He is made illustrious by miracles, which I have often heard from those reporting who are worthy of faith. For when on a certain occasion, several being under the portico of B. John the Baptist (among whom were, the mentioned Priest Peter de Zenone, and a certain Gabus, a Layman of the district of this church, from whom I heard) the aforesaid venerable man came a little out of the Cathedral church, and passed through the cemetery toward the said portico of S. John, and made a stay before those figures, placed in the wall of the said church of S. John, praying devoutly; there came upon him a certain sudden rain, wonderful and overflowing and very copious: and when he remained longer in prayer, the aforesaid being under the said portico, seeing, and laughing or mocking at him, since they believed that he would be all sprinkled and wetted with water from the said rain; he prays untouched by the shower, and when he had approached them, they questioned him saying: Brother Rigo, why did you stand so long in that rain? And they themselves touching him and his garments, found and touched him and his garments wholly without any wetting of rain or water, as if he had stood in the sun; at which all stupefied, they began to marvel at so great a miracle, and to reckon him of a holier life and virtues than before.

[10] And indeed his fame and life so began to grow, and to flash with works; that by the elders, and almost by all, he was held for a Saint; and often by many seeing him it was said; This is a Saint. Nor is it a wonder, because his conversation and continual thought was in the heavens, according to the Apostle saying; He enjoys the discourse of the Saints, Our conversation is in the heavens. And this shone forth manifestly, because with the Saints and Angels he daily meditated: for the aforesaid Catharine, wife of the said Jacob, who after the manner of women, more than the said Jacob, dwelt and tarried in her house (and also the said Jacob affirmed) reported that while she herself stood in the house, and the said blessed man was in his little chamber closed, she often heard, and it seemed, that he was speaking with some, and they with him; yet she herself could not understand. And when likewise he came out of the little chamber, she herself questioned him; Ah, Brother Rigo, with whom were you just now speaking? But he, dissembling and feigning, gave no answer; but went out of the house, and pursued his journey according to his manner.

[11] I heard also from a certain Lady worthy of faith, who had heard it from the undermentioned tailor, that while a master … a tailor, poor and of good life, in whom the same blessed man secretly confided wholly for the sewing of his hair-shirts, once was sewing certain of his hose, he heals the finger of his tailor injured by a needle: and was putting certain little cords into them; the Tailor himself on account of the hardness of the cord pierced his finger through, and the needle remained as if half in the finger: from which the said poor man received so great a pain, that he could have no rest: and he believed, crying out and weeping, that he had lost his finger, and that for the rest he could not help himself by it, nor by his hand, saying: Alas wretched me! that it will behoove me henceforth to beg, even to remain at the hospital, not being able to labor further. Which hearing and weighing, blessed Rigus began to say to him; Doubt not, brother, for you shall be sound. And praying and touching his finger for him, he felt henceforth no injury or pain: and to full health, as before, he was restored. Who therefore can or ought to doubt, but that he had conversation with the Saints and Angels? Who ought not to apply faith, as much as human nature is able to comprehend, but that he led a heavenly and undefiled life? when one comes to the examination of true knowledge.

[12] What and how in the aforesaid place or little chamber he led his life and his days, and with how great affliction of body secretly, The miracles of the deceased are written: thus after his death it shone forth to all: and we saw, and all then living could openly see. For he being dead, an incredible concourse of men and women suddenly thrived: likewise also the whole city, with great and unheard-of admiration, was in tumult. And although still today in the sacristy of the cathedral church, by the garments, hair-shirts, and other very devout things, which were found in the little chamber, there is had a clear testimony of the truth; yet for the further exciting of the devotion of the faithful, as briefly as we shall be able, concerning the manner of living in the said little chamber, and concerning those things which on the day of his death, and afterward wonderfully happened, we shall take care to narrate.

[13] For in the said poor little cell he had three beds, indeed not strewn with feather, or purple or silk; one indeed of vine-shoots, and this hard; and another of twisted cords, of thick ropes of flax, and this harder; and a third somewhat softer, his utensils are honored as relics. namely of pure straws; in which, when from fastings and prayer he was too weary, he in some way stretched himself, and resumed some recreation of the body, that afterward he might more strongly attend to fastings and prayers. A hair-shirt of the same twisted cords he always by day and night wore and held upon his flesh. And likewise in his hose at the knee, he always wore similar twisted cords. His sheets were of coarse gray with little cords. At his head a certain wood small enough, for a pillow, he always held at night: and a scourge, with which at night he sharply beat himself, and a certain round live stone, with which he struck his breast, he also held. All which things are preserved in the sacristy of the church for perpetual memory; although out of devotion by many particles of the aforesaid have been taken. And thus he led his penance, and his life hidden, and altogether unknown, even to his end there: whence how much he is to be reckoned, and how much he was and is to be venerated, I leave to the judgment of readers and hearers.

CHAPTER II.

The concourse to the body and obsequies of the deceased: the multitude of miracles taken down by Notaries.

[14] But when, as it pleased God, the day of his death came, namely the 10th day of the month of June 1315; at which time in a common, and popular and peaceful state, Henry having died, June 10, 1315. the city of Treviso itself flourished; with the aforesaid Lord Castellanus as its Prelate, of much reverence and authority; in the temporal government, the noble Knight Lord Magnus de la Brancha of Gubbio being as Podestà, indeed a strenuous Knight; how many and how great wondrous and ineffable things omnipotent God, who is the true rewarder of the good, showed and evidently demonstrated, if furthermore all my members were turned into tongues, or

I knew how to use the oracles of the Poets, and would or could apply them, beyond doubt I could not express them.

[15] For behold what the Lord wrought in him or for him. While on that day after sleep I stood and was under the portico of the church of Treviso the bells ring of their own accord. toward the church of S. John; and looked toward the Episcopal palace, the glass of the window of the chamber where the Lord Bishop Castellanus was wont to sleep, the bells of the said greater church began to be rung very sweetly, and beyond the accustomed manner. I saw the Dean and Chapter of the same church, with all the Mansionaries and Chaplains coming out of that church, and directing their steps toward the district of Panceria; in which Chapter indeed in that church there were then present all, as below they shall be described. And before, as it seemed to me, and still I believe, when they had reached the house where the said venerable body lay; he is publicly proclaimed a Saint, a voice openly sounded through the common square and the greater street; and without number through that street they ran crying out, and with a loud voice saying; A Saint is dead. Continually frequenting this, and reiterating the same voice, and toward the said house of the said Jacob with exceeding tumult most swiftly hastening; still, God being my witness, I being not removed from the said place under the portico, but remaining there. And so great was the concourse of people continually crying out, and praising God to the said funeral, that scarcely and with great labor could the said body be carried after the said Clergy.

[16] And so much did the tumult of the people grow, before the said funeral was brought to the said portico of the church; that out of devotion the whole wooden case, there is a running together to the funeral in which it had been placed, was broken apart on the upper part and behind, and the boards carried off; and the body, wrapped in a mean cloth, or in a certain shirt, wholly appeared, and through the case itself was tossed about; and I saw it with my eyes. There followed that body after the said case a certain man with two crutches in his hands, carrying them aloft; who had before been contracted, so much, that before by himself, the sick are healed: without the help of those crutches, he could not walk; and I heard that he had come before to Treviso, for the cause of having himself healed. And also several other sick persons, then and afterward to be freed, likewise followed the said body. But the bells, while it was thus carried to the church, were rung so sweetly, so melodiously; that of themselves they seemed to emit a sound in the ears of those hearing them.

[17] At length out of the multitude of people, with the greatest insistence and pressure, on account of the crowd the Praetor scarcely breaks through thither. it was carried within the said church. What shall I speak? what shall I say? who could believe? Forthwith and in a moment the whole city is roused, and all run from every side to so notable and wondrous a deed. The aforesaid Podestà comes up, who had still been asleep, accompanied with all his household and other citizens: he desires to reach the said body, placed in the midst of the church still upon the ground, and is not able with all his strength and threats, by reason of the superabounding multitude of people continually growing stronger. The body is not permitted to be buried, out of the devotion of all, wishing to touch and see that venerable body, which appeared not dead, but sleeping. The aforesaid Bishop also, awakened even from sleep, hearing from his palace the tumult and clamor, ran quickly into the church as he could accompanied; where he found the said Podestà; and finally by force and with terrors, they came to the said body; and marveling at it thus torn in the garments and case, and rendering praises to God, they caused a pit to be made in the very midst of the church, and ordered a certain grating of timber to be laid over that pit. with the Bishop. The sick run together for obtaining deliverance, the whole run together for obtaining devotion, and for seeing so great a virtue. Miracles began to sprout and to flash: the whole church that day and night remains full of people, with lights and infinite clamors. Scarcely is it prevented, but that the said grating should be broken.

[18] On the morrow above the aforesaid pit, the body the next day is exposed to be beheld, not without immense pressure, they began to fabricate a certain square enclosure of strongest woods, with a door set in and a key. The said body is drawn out whole, and wholly palpable, above the ground; and in the midst of the said enclosure, on a certain litter it is placed, as if it slept covered with a certain pall, that through the little window of the said enclosure it might be seen by all; where it remained thus above the ground in the said litter naked, and covered with the said pall for eight days, in such heat, and at such a season, in which it ought straightway to have stunk. What more? Another greater wonder appeared manifestly, and all saw it. and copious blood flows from it. It thus remaining, blood from its body began to flow out: and flowed in such abundance, collected in silver vessels, that several flasks were filled, and still today are preserved in the sacristy. But above the said enclosure a certain platform of boards was constructed; where a multitude of the languishing remained, supplicating and crying out, for the recovery of their health. Afterward, the said eight days being passed, in a certain stone chest, brought from Venice, the venerable body was placed.

[19] Meanwhile and subsequently, his fame is divulged through the cities and neighboring places: From everywhere there is a running thither of peoples both neighboring, of Venice, Padua, Vicenza, Verona, Brescia, and all Lombardy; as also of the parts of Trent, of Feltre and all Friuli, of Istria and those parts, and of Romandiola, Ferrara, Chioggia, there is a concourse wonderfully, and through all Italy a most famous report is borne; and so much, that even at Rome and at Perugia, and those parts, the image of the aforesaid commendable man is painted in many places: to whose images there was much concourse therein; and God showed many miracles, for the merits and prayers of the said glorious man. For thus grew his devotion, and the opinion was divulged, that from Verona and from Vicenza and Padua and many other parts, peoples gathered came to his sepulcher scourging themselves; by the sick and the sound: and so from the whole dominion of Treviso: for so great was the concourse of the sick, that they were not contained in the church. Above the said platform were placed of those sick, as many as could stand on it. And the abundance of poor and sick so multiplied, that round about the square of the said church of the Duomo, and under the storehouse, and beside the palace of the bishopric, and through all the cloisters, and under the canonry of that church, those poor and weak tarried; and there was no place which was not full of them, and also through the whole city in very many places they were dispersed; to whom relief was given by devout persons with alms of works.

[20] And when in that church, and near it, and round about, the multitude of the said poor and sick increased, in that church on the left side a certain storehouse was ordained; and to it certain good men, deputed by the Bishop and the Commune, the poor are fittingly sustained: gathering bread and wine, transmitted thither by the citizens of Treviso, for the sustenance of the aforesaid poor: which officials afterward divided this daily to the poor and languishing. And by the continual devotion of good men and women in the said storehouse bread and wine did not fail: nay (as the said officials reported, and was publicly divulged) while on one day from a certain tub they distributed wine, and gave it to the poor, and transmitted according to custom to all the poor within and without that church residing; the wine in the vessel is multiplied. that wine continually lasted, and did not fail: and did not fail for a long space of the day, as they themselves manifestly weighed; and to so great a miracle all the bystanders in the church ran together, very many drinking and tasting of the said wine.

[21] Notaries designated for taking down the miracles, Other miracles very many, and many, from the virtue and prayers of the said most glorious man, began to flash in the said church: and so much, that for having a perpetual memory of them, and for knowing the other conditions of the sick, by the said Lord Bishop, and the Podestà, and the Commune there were deputed three, to discuss, to see, and to redact in writing the said miracles; namely Lord Bartholomew de Castagnolo, called Becha, skilled in canon Law, who afterward was Prior of S. James de Schinali, as President; and Master Antony de Baona, Scribe and Notary of the said Lord Bishop, my brother, and Girard de Nerlo Notary of the Commune, who was contracted in the haunch; that at the command of the said Lord Bartholomew, a diligent examination and discussion having first been made of the said sick who were healed, they might reduce into writing those sick who were healed, as was done, and more fully observed.

[22] For when anyone was healed, to the presence of the said Lord Bartholomew, and the aforesaid Notaries, they hear the witnesses of each one, with a multitude of people very copious there assisting, he was straightway led; and concerning his infirmity, and afterward concerning the health restored, full information and knowledge being had, from the parents, or from the kinsmen, or acquaintances of those sick, by the Notaries themselves it was concordantly noted in writing: where we for the most part then, as a youngster, with my said brother, were present, and many times, he being absent, in his stead, by command of the aforesaid Lord Bartholomew, we wrote, as we knew, several of those miracles with our hand, as still in the quaternion of the same it evidently appears. All which miracles then thus redacted in writing, at the end of this present history, for the perpetual memory and praise of omnipotent God and of all the Saints, and the commendation of so most solemn a man aforesaid, we have caused to be annotated in order: that whoever of sound mind may be able to meditate, how much the divine clemency willed at the end to exalt with miracles and prodigies the life which His humble and devout little servant bore in the body, and to lay it open to the whole world.

[23] Pilgrims often to 30 thousand on one day flow together. Moreover the concourse of peoples lasted almost for a year: but the greatest and chief for three months, and beyond. And indeed we believe, that in those days, from the beginning especially, sometimes thirty thousand foreign persons were found in this city. Since indeed the concourse of people and peoples could not be believed, and the tumult and jubilation in that church; the illumination of candles, very many enemies are reconciled, the placing of statues and images, and likewise of crutches, which the sick left, and caused to be hung up, which for a long time stood hung; again the vociferation

of the sick, and of all other faithful, praising God for so great a gift and bounty divinely bestowed. What more? Innumerable persons, ensnared in whatsoever crimes, wonderfully hastened to the confession of their sins: whatsoever injuries were remitted, concords were made between capital enemies, both of citizens and of any foreigners whatsoever; and in a short time so great peace and consolation flourished that year, and also the following, and was flourishing, that if Homer were present, he could scarcely set it forth.

[24] But, that to the Most High for so great a gift fuller thanksgivings and praises might be paid, an altar is erected beside the chest: a chapel is begun, and for the reverence of this most blessed man, before the chest placed (as aforesaid) in the midst of the said church, in which his body had been buried, a certain solemn altar was erected; upon which Masses were celebrated daily, devoutly with all the people running together. And at length by the ordination of the Bishop and Chapter and Commune it was decreed, that near the chapel of S. Mary the little, within the cathedral church itself, there should be constructed a solemn chapel, in which the said venerable body, with the chest in which it presently lies, should remain perpetually. And the work being begun, as still appears, near the said chapel, the war of Can de la Scala supervening, and other novelties in this city (as below shall be said) it could not be finished. But at length a chest was fabricated on columns, with Angels above; in which today lies the said body, translated into it, and fixed in the same middle place of the church, with a solemn altar before it: where it remained until the times of the Venerable Father Lord Ubaldino de Gabrielibus of Gubbio, Bishop of Treviso (of whom also I was familiar, and a daily Mass is founded there. and very devoted) famous and worthy of much commendation, immediate successor of the said Lord Castellanus, by whom with his Chapter in his time the said chest, with the columns and the body remaining within, was translated, and placed in the place where it now is, among the columns of the church on the left side, and today opposite the Chapel built by us to the honor of the holy and undivided Trinity: and there at that altar, as is notoriously evident, the first Mass at dawn is continually celebrated, to the praise of God, and for the memory and reverence of the said blessed Rigus; at which chest and in the same place, for his merits and prayers, the omnipotent Lord showed very many miracles, and illustrated him with virtues.

[25] The cause of Canonization begun, Indeed, intending the end of this work, but yet to a tacit question, which might be moved, and asked, since this glorious man by the divine clemency flashed with so many and so great miracles in this world, why it was not procured by the Clergy and people of Treviso, that by the supreme Pontiff, and the holy Roman Church he might be inscribed in the Catalogue of the Saints and canonized, as is the manner of other Saints, before we conclude in this work, we have deliberated that an answer should be given. Moreover the same Clergy, and People, and the said Prelate Lord Castellanus with his Chapter were willing, and had proposed to lead that canonization to effect: but in the third year after the death of the said blessed man, a treason supervening, attempted by several citizens of Treviso, and of the county of Treviso, and others with the said Lord Can de la Scala, son of the late Lord Albert de la Scala, then Lord of Verona and Vicenza, and a horrible war about the city of Treviso having arisen and followed, this desire of the Trevisan Clergy and People could not be committed to execution. For in that same treason the said Lord Can had the castle of Annoalis, given to him by Articus Advogarius, son of the late Lord Guido Advogarius; on account of the disturbed peace of the city it is set aside and Asolo, which then the said Lord Castellanus possessed in the name of the bishopric, treacherously delivered to the said Lord Can, by Guccellus de Monfumo, and Nicholas and Antoninus de Roverio, and several other rebels of Pedemonte; the Castle of Monte Belluno, and all the other fortresses he had in the said Pedemonte; and the said war lasted for three years, and beyond. And then Lord Guccellus de Camino, Lord of Serravalle, and of his other castles, confederated himself with the said Lord Can: and the said Lord Guccellus himself afterward …. The rest is wanting.

NOTES OF D.P.

p Avogarios Onuphrius writes, and brings forth a Praetor of Treviso from that family in the year 1330 and following; to whom Bructerus Tempestas Avogarius is the name.

q Asillum, commonly seems to be called Asolo, and is a castle situated on a mountain, 15 miles from the city to the West: yet I doubt, because in the miracles §4, num. 2 a certain Bonapastus de Ezello is named.

r In the maps Monte Beluna, toward the same part 10 miles from the city.

s Pedemontem appears to be called the Western part of the territory of Treviso, verging toward the mountains, which in the maps are called the Mountains of Fenera; far distant from the Piedmont of Insubria toward the Alps.

t Commonly Serravalle, a great town, about 20 miles from the city toward the North, on the confine of the territory of Belluno.

CHAPTER III.

The miracles taken down by Notaries in the very first days from his death.

[26] Thus far the Ms. preserved in the Archive of Treviso, mutilated by one or another page torn out; whence it also happened, that the things which above num. 22, the author says he did, at the end of the present history, to annotate the Miracles in order, the exordium and acts of the days 11 and 12 being taken away, are had headless, a few from the 12th day remaining; a loss no more reparable, since it is not probable that another copy exists elsewhere. These miracles, as they keep only the order of the time at which they were noted, not also at which they happened, and almost consist in the cures of the arthritic and the contracted, often diverse only by the names of those healed, and strictly noted; so they have no need of being illustrated by a marginal synopsis, or by other distinction than the order of days, under which they are described in the original.

MIRACLES

From the 10th of June even to the 5th of July, described under the faith of public Notaries.

Henry of Bolzano, at Treviso in the Venetian dominion (B.)

BHL Number: 3808

FROM THE ACTS OF THE NOTARIES.

Preface

The 11th day of June, and part of the 12th, are wanting in the Ms. For which from the 13th and 15th day receive these.

[27] In the year 1315, the 13th Indiction, on Tuesday, the 10th of the month of June, most blessed Henry, at the third hour, emigrated from this world; and on the fourth and fifth days, namely Friday and Saturday at the sixth hour, most precious and fragrant blood from his body wrapped (that is, covered with garments or honest cloths) in a spaddrappore (a Phrygian cloth, if I am not mistaken) and placed in a new case, flowed forth, and under that case also, a certain carpet being placed. Thus written after miracle 7 among the Acts of the Lord's day: but before, after miracle 44 of the preceding Friday, thus had been written: Lord Brother Renaldus, Prior of the monastery or place of S. Margaret, of the Hermit Friars, with ten Friars of the Convent, said and confessed, that it was true and miraculous blood. Lord Brother Almericus, Prior of the monastery or place of S. Nicholas of the Friars Preachers, with twelve Friars of his Convent, said as above. Now receive what remain from the 12th day.

Leopold Duke of Austria, had the said city of Treviso in dominion from the dominion of Venice; which had obtained the same, as is reported, for 43 years, 5 months, 11 days; which gave the same to the said Lord Duke, since it could no longer retain it, on account of the insuperable wars, made against the said Dominion of Venice and its lands, by sea and by land, for many and many years, Leopold Duke of Austria holding Treviso, and up to the day and hour of the entrance of the said Lord Duke, namely by the King of Hungary Louis by name, then Marquard Patriarch of Aquileia, and certain other allies, and by the Commune of Genoa, and by D. Francis de Cararia Lord of Padua, the leader of all the aforesaid. And at the said time of the aforesaid showing, with the Reverend in Christ Father and Lord D. Peter de Baono presiding in the said Church in the Episcopal See, by the grace of God and of the Apostolic See, who indeed saw the said Blessed one while living, and many miracles, and Peter de Baono holding the Bishopric, which the omnipotent Lord, at the time of the death of the same Blessed one, by his potent merits and prayers showed; and which miracles indeed the brother of that Lord Bishop, Master Antony by name, then Notary of Lord Castellanus Bishop of Treviso, together with that Lord Peter the Bishop, that Master Antony being at that time younger, wrote by the command of the aforesaid Lord Castellanus the Bishop, the author of the Legend; who also caused the miracles to be transcribed. the Canons and people of Treviso instantly asking, and wishing it. And afterward that Lord Peter, being Bishop, compiled a certain Legend, and caused it to be written in the great books of the same church, with the miracles, as above. Then it is written by the same brothers concerning the aforesaid Blessed one. Let all therefore know, and firmly believe, that the said blessed body is laid up in the said chest, placed about the middle of that Church of Treviso upon four columns; and that all the aforesaid things were true, The body was however shown, and that the testimony of that Lord Peter the Bishop was true and excellent; because the things which he saw and wrote, he said, composed and narrated in all the premises, according to that Evangelical word: And he who saw bore witness etc. At which time of the showing, there were found Beneficiaries in that Church, the Venerable Lords and Clerics;

Notes

a. Tabardum, by others is commonly used for Toga, as may be seen in Cangius in the Glossary: but according to the picture he seems to have worn a tighter garment, such as the Italians commonly name Sottana. What Allota are, I seem to myself to understand from the Miracles § 5 num. 8, where a certain lame man healed, is said to wear a straight heel without alutum, that is (as much as I think) without cork, by which one of the shoes is raised, so that Allota hence are, shoes stuffed with cork.
b. Capello to the Italians, to the French Chapeau, named from Caput, as it were Capitellus, the same as Galerus to the Latins, or pileus, with brims projecting against the injuries of the air.
c. Appodiare, to recline, to lean. French Appuyer.
d. Porticale, the vestibule of a temple, derived from Porticus. French Portail.
e. Triumphare, more commonly and contractedly, Truffare, that is to play, to mock. Truffa, a play.
f. Sermento to the Italians, in Latin Sarmentum, from the verb Sanio, whence also Sarculum.
g. Resta, in Latin Restis, a rope.
h. Retontum, to the Italians Ritondo, i.e. round. The French and Belgians, Rond.
a. By the custom namely of the free Cities through Italy, then wont to seek for themselves from elsewhere a Podestà, that is a Praetor, a man celebrated in jurisprudence.
b. Forcia, French Force, violence, from the Latin Fortis.
c. Cruzolae, i.e. Cruculae, or little forks for under the armpits.
d. That is, a grate, or wooden hedge.
e. Solarium, that is, a flooring, as it were solidarium, from solidating; to the Belgians Solder.
f. That is, of the Cathedral Church, which the Italians commonly call il Duomo.
g. Is it perhaps some portico, so called from a little fount flowing there?
h. Canipam, I understand, a tavern; from the Teutonic Kan, a cup.
i. Mastello, to the Italians, is a tub or wine-jar, into which wine is drawn from the cask, according to the Cruscan Academicians.
k. Ancha, by others Anca, French la Hanche, the haunch.
l. Piccola, that is, small.
m. Guerra, war: but concerning the Scaligeri see the Italian writers, and namely Onuphrius Panvinius in the Antiquities of Verona. In that city they long obtained dominion, formidable in warlike virtue, especially he here indicated, and by them called, Can Grande. Onuphrius narrates how he, in the year 1319 desisting from the siege of Padua, the war being turned against the Trevisans, occupied almost all the villas, hamlets and citadels of that territory: who, distrusting their own strength, gave themselves to the Count of Gorizia: which thing turned Can Grande away from the siege of Treviso: nay even under certain conditions, he restored the things occupied; but again in the year 1320 he recovered all, nor restored them except peace being made with the Paduans and the Duke of Austria, or rather a five-year truce: which being ended, he did not at once again move against the Trevisans, but in the year 1329, when he received the long-besieged city into surrender on the 16th of the Kalends of August, and he himself on the fifth day after, the 11th of the Kalends of August died at Treviso; leaving to his brother's sons the princedom of Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, Feltre, Belluno, Brescia, and of their dioceses. A war however having arisen between them and the Venetians in the year 1337, they partly by guile, partly by force lost Treviso, which was occupied by the Venetians.
n. This Ubaldinus, translated from the Church of Forlimpopoli to that of Treviso in the year 1323, held it until 1334, by the testimony of Ughellus, who in the Appendices after volume 9 teaches that to him succeeded Brother John de Benedictis.
o. Such a castle I do not now find in the map of the territory of Treviso.
a. I know no S. Genium or Genum: but I scarcely doubt that it is contracted for the name of Genuinus or Ingenuinus Bishop of Sabion on February 5; or of Genunanus Bishop of Matina, January 31; or by aphaeresis from the name of Eugenius.

e. Ginocchium, as it were Geniculum, from Genu.

d. He calls Flatum, the breath; nor any whatsoever, but the hurried.
a. Gumbus seems to be the same as Gibbosus (hunchbacked), below num. 11 Gimbosus and num. 51 Gubba for Gibbus (hump).
b. I have already said in Note a to Chapter 1, that Alutum seems to remain, by which one of the shoes raised higher, makes the contracted limb equal to the longer.
c. What Surgus is, I desire to be taught.
d. Spigolus seems here to be called the ankle.
a. Schina, commonly Schiena, the back part of the body from the shoulder to the girdle is so called, among the Cruscan Academicians; but these very men, when they interpret Schienale a disease in the front part of the shin, sufficiently indicate, that this part also is called Schiena, which to the Belgians is Schene.
b. Barbarius, from shaving the beard, is called a Surgeon, or a physician performing the cure with the hand.
c. Canulus perhaps for Cannula (little reed); as if childishly she had played, riding on a long reed.
d. S. Vendemanum, or Vendemarium I have hitherto not known: from the very place here indicated I would gladly learn when he is venerated. The same perhaps is also called Vendramus.
e. Cavigliae, French Chevilles, the little keys of the feet, or ankles are so called. On page 378 it is written Padiglia.
a. Cusinus, that is, kinsman by marriage, cousin; French Cousin.
a. Lenza, that is, a linen band: hence Lenzuolo, a sheet; as if Linteolum, French Linceul.
