[EAN: 9781331863335], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Fra Paolo Sarpi: The Greatest of the Venetians The more I study the Life and Writings of Fra Paolo Sarpi, the more I am amazed at his superlative goodness of heart, and at the extraordinary versatility and magnitude of his powers. The words Madame Clara Novello used with reference to Count Cavour, are applicable also to him. Now and then, she says, the Almighty sees fit to show what He can create under the name of a man, in His own image. It is also worthy of remark that my estimate of Sarpi is not only that of Venetians and other Italians, and indeed of all, I believe, who have made a study of him (Dr. Andrew White of Cornell University places him fourth amongst his Seven Great Statesmen), but it is in harmony with the language used of him by his contemporaries in Italy, and throughout Europe. I might almost say the resources of every language were exhausted in expressions of admiration of him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
