Index of Persons
Persons — N
126 persons, with 38 cross-references. Fathers, Doctors, philosophers, astronomers, rabbis, and adversaries — with the gods and heroes of pagan myth — wherever each is named anywhere in the library.
The highlighted first reference points to Sixtus’s own account of that expositor, at its printed folio in Book IV of the Holy Library.
A reference marked n was found in the translator’s notes rather than in the author’s own text.
