This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... ALEXANDER II. A.D. 1061-1073. Sources.--In Migne's Pat. Lat., t. 146, there are 146 genuine bulls,1 letters, etc., of Alexander, and six doubtful ones. Something has already been said regarding most of the chief authorities on which we have to rely for the Life of this Pope. Comparatively recently, however, after a series of hair-breadth escapes from destruction, there has been published2 a poem of 3658 distichson St. Anselm of Lucca, the nephew of Alexander, by Ragnerius, his second successor in the See of Lucca (1097-1112). Considering its length, and the fact that it was written not later than 1097, it is a disappointing production from an historical point of view. If it is one of the best poems of its time, it is one of the worst histories. It is little more than a panegyric of Gregory VII. Its author utilises certain facts of the Life of St. Anselm simply as a means of glorifying the ideas of that great Pope.3 Quotations will often be made from a narrative called in Watterich Codex Vaticanus A. This production is the work of one who has used the Catalogues of the Popes and (while adding not always accurately something of his own) especially the Liber ad amicum of Bonizo of Sutri. That one seems to have been Cardinal Boso, apparently an Englishman, and certainly the confidant of the Englishman Hadrian IV. CJ. the Vita Bosonis, ap. L. P., ii. 351 ff. 1 In them we find the following mottoes: "Magnus dominus noster et magna virtus ejus; Deus nostrum refugium et virtus; Exaltavit me Deus in virtute bracchii sui." 2 By V. De la Fuente, Madrid, 1870. 3 Cf. S. Colucci's introduction to his Un nuovo poema latino, la vita di Anselmo da Baggio, Roma, 1895. All the principal lines of the poem are quoted by Colucci in the original....
