In Class II, may be noted Italian translations of certain writings of Luther which had been issued under the name of Fregoso (Federigo Fregoso died in 1541, as Archbishop of Salerno.) Class III contains further Italian translations of the treatise of Luther on the _Freedom of Christian Men_ and of the _Address to the Christian Nobility of Germany_. In the same class is entered the title _Il Beneficio di Christo_ (also recorded as _Beneficium Christi_), the authorship of which is ascribed to Dom Benedetto, a Benedictine of Mantua. This tract was printed throughout Europe in various versions and secured a very wide circulation. Vergerio speaks of forty thousand copies being sold in Venice alone, within six months. The tract appears, however, to have been very thoroughly suppressed, as copies are now scarce. Among the non-theological Italian writers whose names find place in the lists of Trent (and in other of the earlier Indexes) the following may be noted: Dante, Macchiavelli, Boccaccio, and Guicciardini. The name of Dante is connected with the treatise _De Monarchia_. The ground for the condemnation was undoubtedly the same that, two centuries earlier, had brought the author under the reprobation of John XXII, namely, that Dante had ventured to assert that the authority of the emperor was derived from God and not from God’s vicar on earth. The book had, in 1318, been publicly burned in Lombardy. The name of Dante finds place also in the expurgatory Index issued, in 1581, in Lisbon. The _Commedia_ is prohibited until it has been officially expurgated, and all copies are ordered to be delivered to the Inquisition for correction. The _De Monarchia_ is referred to by Fox in his _Book of Martyrs_. He speaks of Dante as “an Italian writer against the Pope.” The name of Joan. Foxus and that of Oporinus (the Basel publisher of the treatise) are placed in the Trent list. In the same Index, are condemned certain passages from the commentary on the _Commedia_ by Landino, in which it is asserted that heretics are not deserving of death but simply of imprisonment. In a Greek version of the _Commedia_ recently published in Constantinople by Musurus Pacha, certain passages are omitted which make uncomplimentary references to Mahomet.
