NOTE a., page 243.

As the works of Pontanus are not always accessible, the passage referred to, which occurs in the treatise De Magnanimitate, is given in the original Latin, in order that the reader may compare it with the account of the same incident given by Valla, and form his own opinion as to the probable source from which Sir Thomas Elyot derived his knowledge of

the story:

'Ferdinandus idem qui aliquot post annos regnavit in Hispaniâ Citeriore, quæ nunc pars in Aragoniâ est et Cataloniâ divisa, mortuo Rege, superstite in incunabulis filio, qui de more gentis Regno succe debat, quique propter infantiam Regni principibus ac populis despectui jam esset, cum ipse ob egregias animi dotes in sui admirationem proceres ulterioris Hispaniæ ac populos traxisset omnes, sollicitatus à plerisque quod regnum sibi assumeret. Itaque ut erat non minus prudens quàm justus, cupiditatumque humanarum victor, multorum animos nunc spe nunc blanditiis ut quemque affectum noverat honeste moderanterque aliquantum cum protraxisset, ubi tandem opportunum visum est, convocatis de more proceribus ac populorum procuratoribus, in publico ulterioris fere totius Hispaniæ conspectu, expectantibus fermè cunctis Regem ut seipsum declararet, prodiit in medium, editoque à suggestu infantulum regio ornatum cultu, atque impositum humero altèque sublatum ab omnibus conspici ut posset ostentans, En Regem, inquit, O Hispaniæ principes liberarumque urbium oratores ac delecti viri. Noster hic Rex est, hunc veneremur, hunc colamus, huic fidem servemus, qui mos Hispanorum est gentis adversum Reges. Atque his dictis collocatum regio in solio infantulum, ipse primus, ut moris est, ad pedes ejus procumbens et veneratus est illum, et in verba ejus juravit, utque idem cuncti facerent exemplo suo adegit.'-Opera, tom. i. fo. 260, ed. 1518.
