At the adjoining Priorato, however, the garden, perched high above the Tiber, overlooks a vast expanse, with the river and the buildings on either bank as far as the summit of the Janiculum. And in these gardens of Rome Pierre ever found the ...

In the XIII century, the zeal of the Catholic party, reinforced by the political interests of its members, grew most hot and dangerous.

And furthermore, had he not himself read a booklet recently published about a mimic sermon preached by an image of St. Dominic in Soriano? True, the saint had not said a single word, but from his movements it was inferred, at any rate the author of the booklet inferred, that he was announcing the end of the world.

By a fantastic arithmetic, a year of penance was taxed at three thousand lashes; [25] and such was the skill and patience of a famous hermit, St. Dominic of the iron Cuirass, [26] that in six days he could discharge an entire century, by a whipping of three hundred thousand stripes.
