Oration “Conversa in nos” of Pope Pius II (15 March 1459, Siena). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. Final Version (2025). (Orations of Pope Pius II; 37)

Résumé

During a prolonged stay in Siena in the spring of 1459, Pope Pius II received a number of embassies from the rulers of Europe declaring obedience to the Apostolic See and to the new pope. One of the embassies was from Phillippe III le Bon, Duke of Burgundy. In his short reply to the oration of the ambassadors, the pope mostly spoke in praise of the duke and only briefly touched upon the other themes recurring in his responses to such embassies: his own unworthiness for the exalted papal office, acceptance of the duke’s declaration of obedience, gratitude for the duke’s offer of aid to the projected crusade against the Turks, and benevolence of the pope and cardinals.
