This is the book which you have seen leaning against the door-post at the entry to my library. One day, while going into the room thinking about some- thing else, as I often do, I happened inadvertently to catch the book in the fringe of my gown. In its fall it struck me lightly on the left leg a little above the heel. 'What! my Cicero, ' quoth I, bantering him, ' pray what are you hitting me for ? ' He said nothing. But next day, as I came again the same way, he hit me again, and again I laugh...ed at him and set him up in his place. Why make a long story ? Over and over again I went on suffering- the same hurt : and thinkinor he might be cross at having to stand on the ground, I put him up a shelf higher, but not till after the repeated blows on the same spot had broken the skin, and a far from despicable sore had resulted. I despised it though, reckoning the cause of my accident of 2o6 PETRARCH AND HIS TIMES much more weight than the accident itself. So I neither gave up my bath, nor put any restraint on myself in the matter of riding and walking, but just waited for the thing to heal.
