"What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth?"



AUTHOR'S PREFACE.


MY most cordial thanks are due to the many
persons who helped me to collect, in Italy, the
materials for this story. I am especially indebted
to the officials of the Marucelliana Library of
Florence, and of the State Archives and Civic
Museum of Bologna, for their courtesy and
kindness.
