Christina Of Pisa.
The changes of fortune constituted one of the most frequent common-laces in the poetical literature of those times . Dante ' s
noble isode p in the seventh canto of the Infernois but a variation of the ep topic which most of the _Provencal and earl , y writers were in
the habit of introducing on some landing-place of their imaginative flights .
Christina thus handles it : . u Of fortune many are the turns , and strange ,
Long Inconstant are her , ills false , lier , and goods double all swiftl -minde y d change power ; ! 'Tis an old sight that meets us every hour !
_ETor That know man I of should remed ever y , sa hold ve on a ly steadfast this , mind Should bear him wisely if she send him bliss , ,
And But But in march not the exult evil with days because even not step she basel now and y fl courage is y , kind , high ,
" For While Thus life bad on must the men ever good with bide her her her frown ifts chang their full ing oft storehouse will will : light fill , g
But All of undeserved two one by , labor must or by orce right be . taken To pluck ways up heart , _y or lang p uish in unshaken despair , ,
And Man 'tis should my counsel of adverse , that fate with the hop arrows e bear And But in march the evil wi days th even not step basel and y fly courage , high , . "
Christina ' s poems exist in a splendid manuscript volume in the British Museum .

regard , to Bettisia Gozzadini . The name brought to my mind the following extract from an
article long since published in this country by myself on the " Women of Bologna . " A periodical devoted like your own to the
interests of women , ought , if possible , to be very accurate in relation to all obscure names , and where these have become nuclei for " old
wives _tales" the sources of error might advantageously be indithan cated . the In information such , respects of , the your extract correspondent in question , a seems nd mi ght , if fuller you
approve , be printed in some subsequent number . " Paneiroli states that Accorsa , the daughter of Accorso , the
celebrated professor of jurisprudence at Bologna , taught
jurisprudence from her father ' s chair as early as the middle of the thirteenth
