Below the imprint on the title Jefferson has written in brown ink:
The Venetians persuading F. Paul to write an answer to a book lately published, called ‘Scrutinio della liberta Veneta’ he
told them he had an answer ready, and delivered to them his History of the Council of Trent which Marcus Antonius de Dominis
took upon him to publish, & got it printed in London under the name of Pietro Soave Polano, which is the Anagram of Paolo
Sarpi Veneto. v. Collier’s dict. voce Sarpi.
Sir Nathaniel Brent, 1573-1652, warden of Merton College, Oxford,
travelled, according to Wood,
into several parts of the learned world in 1613, 14, &c. and underwent dangerous adventures in Italy, to procure the History of the Council of Trent,
which he translated into English, and therefore to be remembered by posterity with honorable mention. His first edition was published in 1620.
