Bernardine, an historian, born of an illustrious family at Milan, in the year 1460. He was secretary of state to that duchy; and Lewis duke of Storza appointed him to write the history of Milan. He died in 1500. The best edition of his history is that of 1503, in folio. It is printed in Italian, and is very scarce.

CORNOLANUS, C. MARCIUS, a famous Roman captain, took Coriolai a town of the Volsci, whence he had his surname: at last, disquieting the people, he was banished Rome by the tribune Decius. He went to the Volsci, and persuading them to take up arms against the Romans, they encamped within four miles of the city. He would not listen to proposals of peace till he was prevailed upon by his wife Veturia, and his mother Volumnia, who were followed by all the Roman ladies in tears. He was put to death by the Volsci as a traitor that had made them quit their conquest; upon which the Roman ladies went into mourning; and in the same place where his blood was spilled there was a temple consecrated to feminine virtue.
