[Footnote 59: Secundum Dominorum dispositionem plerumque
lucida plerum que nubila recepit intervalla, et aegrotantium
more temporum praesentium gravabatur aut respirabat
qualitate, (l. i. c. 3, p. 630.) The latinity of William of
Tyre is by no means contemptible: but in his account of 490
years, from the loss to the recovery of Jerusalem, precedes
the true account by 30 years.]
