claims. Apparently the pope offered the Champollion a cardinalship, even though he was married with three children.”
Domenico Testa, was secretary to the papal nuncio in Paris, Antonio Dugnani, and he was member of the
Accademia di Religione Cattolica whose object was to combat arguments that undercut catholic dogma or that
undermined divine action as revealed in scripture. In 1793 Testa also took up epistolary arms against Alberto
Fortis, who had argued that the fossil fish found on Monte Balco (Verona) had been transported there in ancient
times from warmer climes during a general cataclysm. Testa argued vehemently otherwise as he did here.

Second, expanded, edition. The first edition of Vieri's work consisted of only the first three books of Aristotle's
Meteorologica. This second edition adds the commentary of the fourth book of Aristoteles. This work also treats
of comets, rainbows, tides, the Milky Way, earthquakes, and metallurgy. Francesco de' Vieri (1524-1591), a
humanist and early on a Platonist after the fashion of Marsilio Ficino, educated in the school of Jacopo da
Diacceto, he followed in his ancestor's footsteps by taking up philosophical studies. He taught at the School of
Pisa, at first holding a chair in Logic, and later, from 1559 to 1590, in Philosophy. Notwithstanding the current
university statutes promoted by Cosimo I de' Medici (1519-1574), which forbade any deviation from Aristotelian
teachings, the second Verino was granted permission by Grand Duke Francesco I (1541 - 1587) to give public
lectures on Platonic philosophy, but was forced to interrupt them upon the protests of his colleagues. His desire
to refound the Platonic Academy had however the conciliationist temper originated by Pico della Mirandola
(1463-1494), who considered Aristotle a precursor of Plato, whose thought therefore could not but be in
harmony with his master's. He chose as the target of his anti-peripatetic polemic in Vere conclusioni di Platone
conformi alla dottrina christiana et a quella d'Aristotile ("True Conclusions of Plato in Agreement with
Christian Doctrine and Aristotle's Teachings", Florence, 1589) his main enemy, the Aristotelian Girolamo Borri
of Arezzo, also a professor at the School of Pisa. Verino published, among other things, a Trattato delle metheore
("Treatise on Meteors", Florence, 1572), a Trattato della lode, dell'honore, della fama et della gloria
("Treatise on Praise, Honor, Fame and Glory", Florence, 1577), the Discorsi delle maravigliose opere di
Pratolino et d'Amore ("Discourses on the Marvelous Works of Pratolino and of Amore", Florence, 1587) and a
Discorso del soggetto, del numero, dell'uso et della dignità et ordine degl'habiti dell'animo ("Discourse on the
Subject, Num-ber, Use and Dignity and on the Kind of Vestments of the Spirit", Firenze, 1568), in which he
championed the political and moral aspects of Plato's thought. He left in manuscript form his Lezzioni d'amore
("Lessons on Love"), a commentary on Cavalcanti published in recent times. EDIT 16 CNCE 29017. Adams
