Cardinalium ambitum, modestius ob varias dissensiones.<br />

Alexandre Farnesio, Hippolyto a Ferr. omittenda, cum<br />

Ante omnia, ne videatar id ic pr<strong>of</strong>ecto egisse ut quaecunque<br />

Evidently <strong>the</strong>se " hints " come <strong>from</strong> somebody intimately<br />

acquainted with <strong>the</strong> daily Hfe <strong>of</strong> Pius IV. <strong>The</strong>ir nature is<br />

such that <strong>the</strong>re can remain no doubt as to <strong>the</strong> aim with which<br />

<strong>the</strong>y were <strong>drawn</strong> up. As soon as one looks at <strong>the</strong> second<br />

edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Vita Pii IV. which Panvinio composed, and<br />

which goes to <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> 1562, one must see that in it Panvinio<br />

has made use, in <strong>the</strong> most literal way, <strong>of</strong> almost all <strong>the</strong><br />

" hints " with which he was provided.<br />

Of this second edition Susta was only acquainted with <strong>the</strong><br />

precis in Cod. 122 <strong>of</strong> Arm. XI. <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Miscell. in <strong>the</strong> Papal<br />

Secret Archives. He was <strong>of</strong> opinion that it is not possible<br />

to decide foi certain whe<strong>the</strong>r this second edition was ever<br />

published, as he had not been able to discover Latin editions<br />

<strong>of</strong> Platina <strong>from</strong> 1562 to 1568, but that <strong>the</strong> second edition<br />

was to be found in an Italian translation <strong>of</strong> Platina-Panvinio,<br />

which was published in Venice in 1563 by Michele Tramezino.^<br />

In this respect I am able to complete <strong>the</strong> researches <strong>of</strong> Susta.<br />

I have before me : B. Platinae Historia de Vitis Pontificum<br />

Romanorum a D. N. lesu Christo usque ad Paulum Papam<br />

II. longe quam antea emendatior, cui Onuphrii Panvinii<br />

Veronensis fratris Eremitae Augustiniani opera reliquorum<br />

Anno 1562. <strong>The</strong>re, p. 3i5b-3i9, may be found <strong>the</strong><br />

Latin text <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second edition. At <strong>the</strong> begininng <strong>of</strong> this<br />

work <strong>the</strong>re is a dedication by Panvinio to Pius IV. dated<br />

• G. Gaida, T'latynae Historic! Liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum,<br />
