To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The details of his life, up to the Council of Pisa, have been sketched in the former work, In the Days of the Councils, and it is there- fore unnecessary to recapitulate them here. Pierre d'Ailly, Jean Charlier de Gerson, and Nicolas de Clamanges were the three shining stars of the College of Navarre ; and after his great pupil, the Chancellor of the University, D'Ailly was the foremost churchman of his time in Europe. Though a man of strenuous convictions, he had not the moral earnestness of t...he Chancellor, and Pierre d'Ailly would not have dared to preach the sermon with which, at the Feast of Epiphany in 1403, Gerson strove to awaken the conscience of Pope Benedict the Thirteenth. He had known the charm of the handsome little pontiff, and from the beginning the difficulties of the situation were more patent to his political and discriminating intellect than they were to Simon de Cramaud and the hot-headed members of the Norman nation in the University of Paris. Pierre d'Ailly was in earnest on the matter of reform, as is proved by his Capita Agendorum ; for two hundred years after his death his proposals were quoted by the Protestants ; but he was a practical reformer of an intelligent and rational kind.
