(pp. 365–67) the supposititious 3rd-century ‘Encomium S. Agathae’, abetted by
the credulous papal scholar Leone Allacci, scriptor at the Vatican Library, but
in fact a 17<sup>th</sup>-century text, printed from a copy Allacci said was
sent to him by Leonardus Pato, Professor of Greek at Messina. The original was
unknown to Allacci, but Pietro Carrera also circulates this in his Memorie di
Catania.</span></p><p></p>
