To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
14 (Rome, 1895). In the Palma, a rhetorical treatise composed in 1198 (ed. Sutter, Freiburg, 1894, p. 123), Buon- compagno says of the Lombards : " Those who have so often fought for the preservation of liberty, are deservedly senators of Italy." A few years later, at 41 the end of his Amicitia (ed. Sarina Nathan, Rome, 1909, p. 87), we find him writing : " The Italian people neither can nor ought to live under tribute, for liberty chose her chief seat in Italy. But, although it is Italy from t...he strait of Messina and Brindisi unto Aquileia and Susa, ther6 are nevertheless boundaries which liberty in modern times hath not been wont to cross : Rome, Perugia, Faenza, and Treviso for the laws of liberty extend to the bed of the swift-flowii^ Taglia- mento. Assuredly the admirable realm of Venice, which is one of the chiefest members of Italy, preserves the Italian liberty in the highest degree." This testi- mony of a Tuscan — ^writing about 1205 — to the italianitd of Venice is noteworthy, and the whole tone of the passage shows that when Italians, in the age of the Communes, spoke of Italia, they did not mean the restricted regnum italicum of the Langobards and Franks.
