[19] Arnulf., Gesta Ep. Mediol. ap. Pertz, x. p. 18. It is necessary not to confound Landulf Cotta, the demagogue, with Landulf the elder, the historian, and Landulf the younger, the disciple and biographer of Ariald.

[21] We have a full account of this embassy in a letter of St. Peter Damiani to the Archdeacon Hildebrand (Petri Dam. Opp. iii; Opusc. v. p. 37), besides the accounts by Bonizo, Arnulf, and Landulf the elder.

[22] Pertz, x. p. 21.

[23] "Nulla misericordia habenda est."

[24] Bonizo. It is deserving of remark that Bonizo, an ardent supporter of Hildebrand and the reforming party, calls that Papal party by the name of Patari, thus showing that it was really made up of the Manichean heretics.

[25] Opp. t. iii.; Opusc. xiii. p. 188.

[26] "Cui Florentini clam insidiantes tentando dicere cœperunt," &c.... "ille utpote simplicissimus homo cœpit jurejurando dicere," &c.—Andrew of Genoa, c. 62.
