infer that all the Calandrinis were connected, and that the Calandrinis in England
(also, by the way, a Turretin there, of the Genevese Terretins, originally Italian and
from Lucca) kept up relationship there with Milton's own Diodatis. All this would
be natural."
From a recent letter of Prof. Raphael Pumpelly (Newport, May 13,
1886), quoting a note by Major Papillon, one of his correspondents, on
the marriage of David Papillon (b. in Paris in 1581) to Anne Marie
daughter of Jean, and granddaughter of Giuhano, Calandrini—a refugee
from Lucca in 1560—at the French Church in London, July 4, 1615, we
gain the following items respecting the family of Giuliano Calandrini :
" Prior to quitting Lucca, where he had large estates, but to which he was driven
by imminent persecution from Rome on account of the reformed faith, he had opened
a commercial connexion at Lyons, France ;
and
there he and his family, with their
fellow-refugees and connexions, Balbani, Burlamachi, Diodati etc. first rested ; but
they soon went on to Paris, where the Calandrini hired the Chateau de Lusarches,
seven miles distant, whence, finally, at the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew's day,
G. Calandrini and his family escaped to Sedan, where they lived for some time under
the protection of the Due and Duchesse de Bouillon, Lord of the place. G. C. died
there, and his family and friends were scattered, some to England, some to Germany,
and some to Geneva ;
at which last place the family became extinct only a few years
ago— still much honored, I am told."
These items are from original MSS. in the possession of Major
Papillon's family. Schotel (pp. 114-30) gives us a very touching narra-
tive of the experiences of Pompeio Diodati in escaping from Lucca to
Geneva, written by himself and translated from the original Italian into
French by his grandson C6sar. It covers the years 1566 to 1575. He went
by the way of Lusarches, to Montargis, where the Duchess of Ferrara enter-
tained the exiles, to Sedan, where Madame de Bouillon was their hostess,
and then back to Lusarches—about the time of the marriage of Henry of
to^
Navarre, which Pompeio Diodati and his wife attended—then to Sedan
again, to Spa and Aix la Chapelle. On first leaving his native land, he
