Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 Colleagues of the Accademia of the Quiriti, - Your too great kindness has invited me, a stranger in blood, but not in faith nor in heart, to address you on this your great civic festival; and I should have more than hesitated to accept your bidding, if I had not remembered who it was that a little while ago pronounced from the Chair of S. Peter that Rome belongs to the Catholic world; or, as we should invert the words, that the Catholic world belongs to Rome. S. Augustin tells us, ´Gratissime atque humanissime factum est, ut omnes ad Romanum imperium pertinentes societatem acciperent civitatis et Romani cives essent, ac si esset omnium quod erat ante paucorum´ (De Civ. Dei, lib. v. cap. xvii. 1). Rome imposed its name on all its provinces; they were no longer indigenes, but Romans.
