"After this will begin

"After this will begin coverage of Latin Christendom."

And not too soon as Petrarch would have said. I was just reading De Vita Solitaria, book II, and the old boy just let go. Had strong words about Muhammad and the Islamic world in general. The whole outburst comes from nowhere, begins by insulting the kings of Europe, brings an undead Julius Caesar to fray (fighting for Christ instead of adultery this time*), then sheepishly ends in a "ah well, I got sidetracked in a pleasant manner and I daresay you must have enjoyed it. And now, back to buiseness".

* seriously, it's all there!

Well, a long time from now! I

Well, a long time from now! I guess Descartes and other early modern thinkers are about 150 episodes in the future (reckoning about 70 each for Latin medieval and Byzantine plus Renaissance), and goodness knows how far off Nietzsche is. So you'll have to be patient I'm afraid!
