Given at Nuernberg in the year 1508, on the Sunday after All Saints' Day. ALBRECHT DUeRER. NUeRNBERG, March 21, 1509. I only care for praise from those who are competent to judge; and if Martin Hess praises it to you, that may give you the more confidence.

The first mistress of the Strozzi palace was Clarice Strozzi, née Clarice de' Medici, the daughter of Piero, son of Lorenzo the Magnificent. She was born in 1493 and married Filippo Strozzi the younger in 1508, during the family's second period of exile. They then lived at Rome, but were allowed to return to Florence in 1510.

Fragments of Petronius had been printed by Bernardinus de Vitalibus at Venice in 1499, and by Jacobus Thanner at Leipsig in 1508; but in the year 1632, Petrus Petitus, or as he styled himself, Marinus Statilius, a literary Dalmatian, discovered at Traw a MS. containing a much more considerable fragment, which was afterwards published at Padua and Amsterdam, and ultimately purchased at Rome for the library of the King of France in the year 1703.

He had disappeared from the stage in 1508, and where he was during several succeeding years we do not know; but in 1517, a young man of nineteen or twenty, he came from Naples to Romagna, where he was shipwrecked. His baggage had been saved by the commune of Pesaro, and was claimed by a representative of Lucretia, December 2d; in the legal document Giovanni Borgia was described as her "brother."

The Portuguese stocked it well with cattle and fruit, and the English now benefit by their forethought. 'St. Helena, says a clever writer, 'is the dark monument of the most conspicuous man that has arisen within the period of certain history. Of course that means Napoleon Bonaparte. I have done."
