Note 053
I cannot recover, in Muratori's original Lives
of the Popes, (Script Rerum Italicarum, tom. iii. P. i.,)
the passage that attests this hostile partition, which must
be applied to the end of the xith or the beginning of the
xiith century.
Extra note by the Rev. H. H. Milman
1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised)
The division is mentioned in Vit. Innocent. Pap. II.
ex Cardinale Aragonio, (Script. Rer. Ital. vol. iii. P. i.
p. 435,) and Gibbon might have found frequent other records
of it at other dates." Hobhouse's Illustrations of Childe
Harold. p. 130.
