The Peripatetics teach some beliefs of this nature; but it would be the greatest injustice in the world to be ready to despise on that account an Occam, a Suisset, a Cesalpino, a Conringius, men who still advocated certain scholastic opinions which have been improved upon to-day.
Cardan here calls him "Gulielmus Lataneus Anglus adolescens mihi charissimus." The title of the copy of Suisset in the British Museum stands "Subtilissimi Doctoris Anglici Suiset. Calculationes Liber," Padue . Brunet gives one, "Opus aureum calculationum," Pavia, 1498. CARDAN travelled southward by way of the Low Countries.
He quotes the instances of Duns Scotus and Suisset in support of the view that the barbarians are equal to the Italians in intellect, and he likewise notices the use of a fertilizing earth presumably marl in agriculture, and the longevity of the people, some of whom have reached their hundred and twentieth year.
Some amongst them are distinguished in talent, and of these Scotus and Suisset may be given as examples. They dress like Italians, and are always fain to declare that they are more nearly allied to us than to any others, wherefore they try specially to imitate us in habit and manners as closely as they can.
