The Dominican, who was a pupil of his, asked him, ' Master, the other day in your lectures you said that the position of S. Thomas of Aquinas about the immortality of the soul, though you did not...
48 ページ - The exceptional infamy that attaches to Alexander VI. is largely due to the fact that he did not add hypocrisy to his other vices. But however much his own times may have forgotten that there was any meaning in the position of Head of the Christian Church, it is impossible for after times to adopt the same forgetfulness.

They knew that they served a master who was in sympathy with themselves.
197 ページ - So wrote Ficino, and came forward with his offering of a misty effort to set forth the image of Plato as closely resembling the truth of Christ ; but his philosophic miracle did not work conviction, his system did not reduce all gainsayers to silence. The question of the immortality of the soul continued to be openly disputed in the schools of Italy, and few were shocked by the discussion. We cannot feel surprised that the theologians in the Council Decree of determined to make a protest against...
54 ページ - In his private life it is sufficiently clear that he was at little pains to repress a strongly sensual nature. Yet he was by no means universally self-indulgent, but was sparing in food and drink, was satisfied with little sleep, and was above the temptations of luxury and indolence.
