SANUTI SHOWING MAPS OF THE EAST TO POPE JOHN XXII

Sanuti thus describes the first audience he obtained with the sovereign pontiff ; " I am not sent hither," said he, " by any king, any prince, or any republic ; it is from the impulse of my own mind that I come to throw myself at the feet of your holiness, and to propose to you an easy means of crushing the enemies of the true faith, of extirpating the sect of Mohamet, and of recovering the Holy Land." On finishing these words, Sanuti presented two books to the pope, one covered with red and the other with yellow, and four geographical charts, the first of the Mediterranean Sea, the second of the earth and of the sea, the third of the Holy Land, the fourth of Egypt. The books of the noble Venetian contained the history of the Christian establishments in the East, and wise councels respecting the undertaking of another crusade. The pope bestowed great praises upon Santuti, and furnished him with introductions to several sovereigns of Europe. The Christian princes, particularly the king of France, received him with kindness, lauded his piety, and admired his talents, but took care not to follow his advice. - Book XVI
