Var. Lect. Lib. 1, cap. 4. ) The fol- lowing is Fazelli's second proof: f In the year 1516, a report Avas spread at Mazarino, that a dead body had been found up- wards of twenty cubits in height. Count Braccio-forte and his wife Emelia were confounded at the sight of a prodigious body, and of a head as large as a hogshead. At this sight Emelia, seized with horror and almost dead with fright, mis- carried. Unskilful persons having afterwards touched the body too violently, it crumbled into dust;... only the teeth were preserved, each weighing five ounces/ How shall we assign such a disproportion in the structure of this race of giants ? It is true it was after an interval of thirty years, in 1546, that this history was related to Fazelli, near Calta Nisetta, by Antoine de Moucade, count of Adrani, or rather by his sister Emelia. We have therefore to depend on the testimony of a woman ; and may we not suspect her of weakness or superstition ? A picture was in the house of Emelia representing this singular event in her life.
