C. Burnell makes no scruple of calling him a 'rascally old Capuchin' ('Hobson Jobson,' 2nd edition, 473). The only 'rascality' I can discover in him is that he made himself extremely disagreeable to the Jesuits. Undoubtedly he was a strenuous pamphleteer, and, provoked by persecution, as time went on he became more bitter and more violent in his expressions. But the documents he prints are, I am persuaded, quite authentic, and worthy of admission as evidence. My greatest complaint against him is his overwhelming prolixity, and I also agree with his spiteful biographer, Chevrier, that he wrote in Walloon rather than in French. - [Previous: 368](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.368) - [Next: 369.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.369.2) - [Up: 369](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.369) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.369.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.369.1) · Pramāṇa
