[790] In the _Bulletin du Protestantisme français_ for 1860, p. 170, we read:—'About the year 1840 the duke of Bevilacqua showed to Sir John Boileau the portrait of Calvin, painted by Titian on this occasion, and offered him a copy of it. I have had many opportunities of seeing it at London in Sir John's house.' M. de Triqueti, whose words we have just quoted, speaks of another portrait of Calvin painted by Titian, purchased in 1860, at a public sale in Paris. We ourselves have seen in one of the Italian picture galleries a portrait of Calvin also assigned to Titian. There is one in the public library of Geneva, and several are to be found in various Italian museums (Stählin: _Johannes Calvin_, ii. p. 7); but these are rather pictures painted by Titian's pupils and touched up by the master, as was the custom of the teacher and his students in those days.

[795] A la duchesse de Ferrare.—_Lettres françaises de Calvin_, pp. 47, 48.

Des Gallars, Calvin's friend, says in his edition of the reformer's _Opuscules_ (1552), 'Epistolas duas edidit, quas de hâc re ad quosdam amicos _ex Italia_ scripserat.' The latest editors of Calvin's works say in the prolegomena to vol. v. (Brunswick, 1866): 'Eas _in itinere Italico_, anno 1536, suscepto, Calvinum scripsisse dicit Colladonius.' Colladon was one of the reformer's intimate friends. The first of these writings contains (in the French edition) 38 pages folio, and the second 35. [800] Calvin, _Opuscules français_ (1566), p. 82.
