Oration “Munera quae attulistis” of Pope Pius II (July 1462, Abbadia). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. 4th version. (Orations of Enea Silvio Piccolomini / Pope Pius II; 69)
Résumé
Pope Pius II had planned to spend the summer of 1462 in Siena. However, his demands for readmission to the city government of two political factions, the Nobles – to whom his family belonged – and the Twelve, brought him into conflict with the majority of the city’s ruling class. A visit therefore seemed inadvisable, and he did not come. The oration “Munera quae attulistis” was delivered in reply to the Sienese envoys when they came, rather late, to invite him to visit the city.
