[Footnote 36: I could wish for some simple authentic memoirs
of a friend of Scanderbeg, which would introduce me to the
man, the time, and the place. In the old and national
history of Marinus Barletius, a priest of Scodra, (de Vita.
Moribus, et Rebus gestis Georgii Castrioti, &c. libri xiii.
p. 367. Argentorat. 1537, in fol.,) his gaudy and cumbersoms
robes are stuck with many false jewels. See likewise
Chalcondyles, l vii. p. 185, l. viii. p. 229.]
