“Thy cave was stored with scrolls of strange device, The work of some Saturnian Archimage, Which taught the expiations at whose price Men from the gods might win that happy age Too lightly lost, redeeming native vice; And which might quench the earth-consuming rage Of gold and blood—till men should live and move Harmonious as the sacred stars above.” For Italy has not wholly forgotten her ancient guardian and soothsayer, who welcomed the founder of the victorious Roman race; nor did the artists of the revived glories of the Renaissance neglect to honour the mysterious priestess of the Cimmerian shore. With prophetic mien the Sibyl of Cumae, that Michelangelo depicted, watches ever the come-and-go of humanity from her lofty post within Pope Sixtus’ Chapel, bidding all remember her ancient prophecy of the Judgment Day, which the Roman Church has included in one of its most solemn canticles: “Dies Irae! Dies illa! Solvet saeclum in favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla.” INDEX Abbondanza, Via dell’, 51 Abruzzi Mountains, 36, 122, 222 Acre, 270 Adrian IV., Pope, 156 Agerola, 123 Agropoli, 209 Alberada, 181 Albergo Cappuccini, 128 Alcubier, 11 Aleppo, 121 Alexander of Epirus, 206 Alexandria, 121 Alexius, Emperor, 179 Alfonso, Duke of Ferrara, 242 Algiers, 56 Alphonso V. of Naples, 277 Amalfi, 5, 36, 100, 106, 112, 126 Ana-Capri, 249, 259, 271 Angelo, Monte S., 28, 30, 63, 76 Annunziata, Torre, 19, 92, 94 Aosta, Duke and Duchess of, 93, 94 Appian Way, 62 Apulia, 181 —— William of, 135 Arabia, 134 Arco, 106 Arguth, Joseph, 292 Ariosto, Ludovico, 239 Aristarchus, 312 Arno, 2 Arnold of Brescia, 156 Arriengo, 123 Arthur, King, 318 Athens, 28, 39, 58 Atrani, 152 Atrio del Cavallo, 77 Augustus, Emperor, 59, 69 —— Temple of, 313 Aulus Vettius, Corvina, 55 —— —— Restitutus, 40, 55 Ausonius, 208 Avicenna, 177 Avvocata, Madonna dell’, 166 Baghdad, 121 Bagnoli, 296 Baiae, 253, 307 Bajalardo, Pietro, 117 Barbary, 209 Barisanus of Trani, 159 Barra, La, 8 Battipaglia, 198 Bembo, Cardinal, 282 Benevento, 111 Bergamo, 240 Berkeley, Bishop, 293 Bismarck, 186 Boccaccio, 137, 157 Bohemond, 179 Bomba, King, 6, 8, 16, 109, 284 Bosco-Trecase, 92, 97 Bowdler, Mr, 81 Braccini, Abate, 77 Breakspear, Nicholas, 156 Browning, R., 33, 36, 183 Brunetto Latini, 121 Butomilea, Landolfo, 182 Byzantium, 118, 142
