I recollect speaking to a young man who had just left the Seminario of Mexico, where he had been through a long course of theology and philosophy.
Yet the spirit of the master seems still to breathe through the ruin, and to justify Morelli's ascription, if not the enthusiastic language in which he writes. Seminario, Venice With the fourth addition on Morelli's list we pass into a totally different sphere of art the decoration of cassoni, and other pieces of furniture.
The puny child of a petty middle-class family, he had been educated at the Seminario Romano. Then later he had for ten years professed Canon Law at that same seminary, afterwards becoming one of the secretaries of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith.
