Let us turn now to Legrenzi's story in 'Il Pellegrino,' Libro Terzo, 192-310 (India), Of the city of Aurangabad, 220-227. On p. 223 the passage begins thus: 'Besides these paid artillerymen the prince entertains several medical men, or rather surgeons, for they practise not only physic but surgery; I do not say in cases of importance—on the contrary, only in more humble operations, such as letting of blood, cupping, blistering and such-like. Among these gentlemen I had the luck to find a fellow-countryman, named Nicolo Manucci, a person with great credit among the nobles, with the handsomest salary I have heard as given in this country—that is, three hundred rupees a month. Such a happy encounter consoled me much, being aware of how rare it is to find Italians there, much less a Venetian. It is impossible to describe how often we embraced, how lively were our demonstrations of affection, how long our talks and interrogations. For he had been away from home nearly thirty years, and was extremely anxious to learn about his connections, even when not known to me, about the condition of Venice city, and other particulars. - [Previous: 15.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.15.2.4) - [Next: 15.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.15.2.6) - [Up: 15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.15.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.15.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.15.2.5) · Pramāṇa
