hprints-00683151, version 2 - 19 Mar 2013 [77] Sunt enim quidam homines, qui velut equi, quanto magis illis indulgetur, tanto majori petulantia sunt. Franciscus Carminiola sub hoc principe militavit, divitiisque honoreque auctus ad hostes confugit, magnaque clade veterem saepe dominum affecit. Hujus apud hostes defuncti filias suscepit egregioque 727 matrimonio copulavit, uxori Carminiolae bona omnia restituit. Qualem vero serenissimis se 728 Aragoniae Navarraeque regibus 729 exhibuerit, nulla 730 terrarum portio non audivit: hoc omnem exsuperat 731 magnificentiam. En dux ipse cum alibi alios hic se ipsum magnificentia superavit. O genus egregium! O proles verissima Galeazi 732 . Est ne hominum ulla conditio, quae non te diligat? Est ne gens ulla tam barbara, tam effera, tam ab omni humanitate alienata, quae tuo nomini non afficiatur? Hic est quem colere omnes debent, cum propter virtutem et probitatem, sicut Cicero credit, etiam eos quos numquam vidimus, diligamus; quem hostes, sicut ego puto, talia in dies 733 audientes non possunt non laudare. 727 egregio B 728 omit. B, C, Z 729 sese add. Z 730 nonnulla Z (sic!) 731 exuperat B, C, D, Z 732 Galeatii M 733 in dies : dietim Z 142
hprints-00683151, version 2 - 19 Mar 2013 [77] There are men who like horses grow more snappish the more they are indulged. Francesco Carmagnola 734 fought under this prince, who loaded him with riches and honours. He then fled to the enemies of the duke 735 and several times inflicted severe defeats on his former master. When Carmagnola died in enemy country 736 , the duke received his daughters, arranged excellent marriages for them, and restored all his property to the widow. Also, the whole world knows how he behaved towards the Most Serene Kings of Aragon 737 and Navarra 738 : beyond all conceivable generosity! Indeed, the duke may on other occasions have surpassed everybody else in generosity, but here he surpassed himself. Oh, eminent lineage! Oh, true child of Galeazzo 739 ! Is there any sort of man who does not love you? Is there any people so barbarous, so obtuse, so alienated from all humanity that they do not cherish your name? Cicero believes that On account of their virtue and uprightness we feel a sort of affection even for those whom we have never seen. 740 So, here is one whom all should revere, and I believe that even his enemies must praise him as they daily hear such things about him. 734 Francesco Bussone also called count of Carmagnola: Italian condottiere (c. 1382 – 1432) 735 i.e. the Venetians 736 Executed by his masters, the Venetians, in 1432 737 Alfonso V 738 Alfonso’s brother, Juan II, King of Navarre and Aragon (b. 1398, k. Navarre 1425, k. Aragon 1458, d. 1479) 739 Giangaleazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan 740 Cicero: Laelius de amicitia, 8, 28. Quoted after the Loeb edition of 1964 143
