You are much to blame to lay unto our charge the corrupting of Cyprian: chiefly in those editions, which are best and soundest, the Roman of Manutius, and Antwerp of Pameliu•. ⟨p. 212⟩For, Pius the fourth, a Pope of worthy memory, desirous pthat the Fathers should be set forth corrected most perfectly and cleansed from all spots, sent to Venice, for Manutius, an excellent famous printer, that he should come to Rome, to do it. And to furnish him the better with all things necessary thereto: he put four Cardinals, very wise and virtuous, in trust with the work. Now, for the correcting and cleansing of Cyprian specially above the rest, qsingular care was taken by Cardinal Borromaeus; a copy was gotten of great antiquity from Verona; the exquisite diligence of learned men was used in it.
