Orations “Eruditissime” and “Dilectissime” of Pope Pius II (29 October and 12 November 1459, Mantua). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. 5th version. (Orations of Enea Silvio Piccolomini; 47-48)
Résumé
At the Congress of Mantua, 1459, three German princes were represented, individually, by the German jurist Gregor Heimburg. They were Archduke Albrecht of Austria, the emperor’s brother; Duke Wilhelm of Sachsen; and Duke Sigismund of Austria, the emperor’s cousin. On behalf of each prince, Heimburg gave an ambassadorial address to the pope, on 29 October, 12 November, and 21 November respectively. These addresses were delivered with studied insolence towards the pope. The pope kept his temper, however, and gave brief and courteous replies, the “Eruditissime” and the “Dilectissime”, to the addresses on behalf of Archduke Albrecht and Duke Wilhelm. The pope’s response to the speech on behalf of Duke Sigismund may not have survived, if indeed if it was ever given as an individual oration.
