To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This dedication is dated 1564, and speaks of the Somnium as composed "ante annos fere triginta. " 56 SCO TTISH LITER A TURE.
This piece was only the first of a series which won for Buchanan the persevering hatred of the Franciscans and soon drove him into a long exile. Shortly after he had written it he was called from his retirement to take charge of the education of an illegitimate son of the king, whose baptismal name, James, has led to his being confounded sometimes with his more famous hal...f-brother James Stuart, afterwards Earl of Murray. At court Buchanan found that the fame of the Somnium had pre- ceded him. The Franciscans were attempting to poison all ears against him ; but James had his own reasons for looking with a favourable eye on their critic, and instead of administering a rebuke he promptly urged Buchanan to write a sharper satire against them. 1 The result of this request was the Falinodia, which is printed in two parts at the end of the Fratres Fraterrimi. His own account of the matter is that being at once unwilling to offend the king and afraid to provoke further the anger of the Franciscans, he wrote a poem so ambiguous that it could be read either favourably or unfavourably ; but the only result of his ingenuity was that he displeased both parties, and was required by the King to apply stimuli " qui non modo summam perstringerent cutem, sed in intima usque praecordia penetrarent " ; and thus he was led on to write the Franciscanus.
