To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Salimbene's autobiography is purely an objective chronicle; its interest for us lies only in the fact of its displaying the other point of view. The only miracles in Salimbene are the bogus miracles of the friars minor; the only vision is seen by him in a dream, during which the Blessed Virgin lets the young monk hold in his arms the Holy ChUd. When the vision vanished, Salimbene says: "In my heart re- mained so great sweetness as tongue could never tell . . . never in this world had I such swe...etness as that"; but he does not attempt to suggest that this vision was other than a dream. Salimbene, indeed, is the type of mediaeval, personal historian who, though a religious, does not leave a religious confession; in his exposure of the crude, charlatan methods of the preaching friars, his pages are worthy to be laid, as commentary, beside those of a Guibert, Suso, Teresa. There is much in common between the Abb4 Guibert and Cardinal Bellarmin, whose learning made him the wonder of Europe.
