[73] Augsburg was one of the first cities in Europe to be supplied with water by artificial means. The old water-works are still to be seen. The view of Augsburg in Münster’s _Cosmographia_ shows them exactly as Montaigne writes of them. [74] Variants of this legend are numerous. Hector Boece (cap. ix.) affirms there are no rats in Buchan, and Sir Robert Gordon, writing on Sutherlandshire, says: “If they come thither from other parts in ships they die presently as soon as they do smell the air of that country.” In Sir John Sinclair’s “Statistical Account of Scotland,” in an account of Roseneath, in Argyleshire, it is stated: “From a prevailing opinion that the soil of this parish is hostile to that animal, some years ago a West India planter actually carried out to Jamaica several casks of Roseneath earth, with a view to kill the rats that were destroying his sugar canes.” [75] “And this their entrance is so curiously admitted, as many strangers desirous to see the fashion, suffer themselves of purpose to be locked out at night, and willing give a reward to the souldiers letting them in.”--Fynes Moryson, _Itinerary_, i. 20. [76] In 1552: Münster, _Cosmographia_ (1559), p. 607. [77] Sauerbrunnen. [78] Bruck. [79] Wilhelm, who married Renée of Lorraine, and abdicated in 1596. [80] “... denique Laici usque adeo persuasum habent nullos Cœlibes esse ut in plerisque parochiis non aliter velint Presbyterum tolerare, nisi Concubinam habeat, quo vel sic suis sit consuetum uxoribus, quæ nec sic quidem usque quaque sunt extra periculam.” Nicolaus de Clemangis, _De Præsulibus Simoniacis_, p. 165. [81] Probably the Starnberger See. This road was made by the Romans. [82] The Kochel, or Walchen See. [83] Mittenwald. [84] Seefeld. [85] Martinswand. [86] Innsbruck. [87] Ferdinand of Tirol, son of the Emperor Ferdinand I. and brother of Maximilian II. He was born 1537 and died 1595. [88] The tomb of Maximilian I. in the Hofkirche at Innsbruck. [89] Cardinal Andreas, the son of Ferdinand of Tirol and Philippina Welser. He was made a cardinal at nineteen years of age by Gregory XIII. He became legate in Germany, and Philip II. at one time wanted to make him governor of the Netherlands. He died in Rome in 1600, and lies buried in the church of S. Maria dell’ Anima. He was about twenty-four when Montaigne saw him. [90] Karl, the second son of the Archduke. [91] _Bouchet_, sugar and water flavoured with cinnamon. [92] _Nef_, which, according to Querlon, here means, “_étui ou boîte où se met le couvert des princes et des rois_.” [93] Ferdinand I. left nine daughters. The Three Queens were Margaret, who died in 1566; Helena, who died in 1570; and Magdalen, who was alive at the time of Montaigne’s visit. Barbara was duchess of Ferrara, Joanna, grand-duchess of Florence, and Catherine duchess of Mantua. [94] Charles was crowned at Bologna in 1530. The monument referred to still stands in the pass of Lueg on the Brenner.
