Talk:Gregorio Leti

Inspiration?
How can Leti's biography of Pope Sixtus V be the inspiration for the infamous "pound of flesh" in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.[9] when Shakespeare died 15 years before Leti was born?


 * ...anecdote similar to the infamous "pound of flesh" is not the same as inspiration. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
