To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I ridicule in you nothing at all. Your life does awaken my pity, as I have said ; but your talents and your eloquence call for nothing but congratula- tion. O great father of Roman eloquence! not I alone but all who deck themselves with the flowers of Latin speech render thanks unto you. It is from your well-springs that we draw the streams that water our meads. You, we freely acknowledge, are the leader who marshals us; yours are the words of encouragement that sustain us; yours is the light t...hat illumines the path before us. In a word, it is under your auspices that we have attained to such little skill in this art of writing as we may possess.
You have heard what I think of your life and your genius. Are you hoping to hear of your books also ; what fate has befallen them, how they are es- teemed by the masses and among scholars ? They still are in existence, glorious volumes, but we of to- day are too feeble a folk to read them, or even to be acquainted with their mere titles. Your fame extends far and wide; your name is mighty, and fills the ears of men ; and yet those who really know you are very few, be it because the times are unfavourable, or because men's minds are slow and dull, or, as I am the more inclined to believe, because the love of The Father of Humanism 251 money forces our thoughts in other directions.
