[Footnote 79: Besides the Lives of Eugenius IV., (Rerum
Italic. tom. iii. P. i. p. 869, and tom. xxv. p. 256,) the
Diaries of Paul Petroni and Stephen Infessura are the best
original evidence for the revolt of the Romans against
Eugenius IV. The former, who lived at the time and on the
spot, speaks the language of a citizen, equally afraid of
priestly and popular tyranny.]
