Excerpt from Sac de Rome: Ecrit en 1527
Des vignettes, confiées au talent de deux artistes distingués, ont été placées dans le corps de l'ouvrage, pour reposer l'attention du lecteur et délasser les yeux fatigués au Spectacle de tant de forfaits.
Le portrait de Clément VII est d' après Raphael; il a été tiré d'un tableau de Léon X, dans lequel Clément a été peint d' après nature, jeune encore et lorsqu'il n'était que Cardinal. Cette indication suffit pour justifier la ressemblance et le choix du portrait.
