1861-12-09: "9. Finished the Encheiridion of Epictetus. Wrote sketches of scenes. Finished the IXth chapter of Varchi, which contains many passages highly interesting to me. There came from the library Rody de Graecis Illustribus, in which I looked at the life of Marullus; Middleton's Free Inquiry, which is not the book I wanted, namely, the Letter from Rome; and Poggiana. G. brings me word from the British Museum, that Filelfo's letters are translated into Italian." Diary 1861-1877 106
