PAOLO (GIROLAMO GASPARE)5 (1532-1600) was the only child of Gian Battista, and was born on the 4th of July 1532. Like his father, he maintained a large correspondence with many persons of learning and note. In 1541 Francesco
Contarini
 , procurator of St Mark's, brought from Brussels a MS. of Villehardouin's History of the Conquest of
Constantinople
 , which he presented to the Council of Ten. In 1556 they publicly ordered its
translation
  into Latin, and gave the commission to

interest
  in the
work
 , for a MS. vernacular
translation
  by him exists in the Marciana.

work
 ." It was not published till 'bog, nine years after Paolo's death; nor was it ever really reprinted, though it became the subject of a singular and unintelligible forgery. For Jacopo Gaffarelli, who was sent to Venice to buy books for Richelieu, having apparently procured the "
remainder
  " copies, removed the title and preliminary pages and substituted a fresh title with the date 1634, and a dedication to his master the cardinal.l
