This  cleverly-worded  enigma  won  the
praise  of  all  the  company,  but  since  it
seemed  to  be  beyond  the  power  of  any-
one to  solve  it,  Lionora  was  requested
to  divulge  its  meaning  ;  whereupon  she

Everyone  was  pleased  with  the  inter-
pretation of  this  clever  enigma  and  com-
mended it  highly.  The  Signora  having
already  remarked  that  Lodovica,  who
was  chosen  to  tcll  the  next  story,  was
troubled  with  a  bad  headache,  turned
to  the  Trcvisan  and  said,  "  Signor  Bene-

THE  FOURTH  FABLE.

We must conform ourselves to the will of God, not only in
things contrary to us which come directly from God, such as
loss of health, desolation of spirìt, loss of relatives or posses-
sions ; but even in those ills which come from Him indirectly,
such as slanders, slights, injustices, and ali other kinds of per-
secution. And we should remember, that when we are injured
by any one, in our goods or our honour, that God does not will

the sin of him who injures us, but that He rightly wills our
poverty and our humiliation. It is certain that whatever hap-
pens, does so by the Divme will. " I forni the light, and create
darkness : I make peace, and create eviL" (Isa. xlv. 7.) The
Preacher had said before, " Prosperity and adversity, life and
death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord." (Ecclus. xi. 14.)
In short, ali things come from God, those that are good and
those that are evil.
We cali them evil, since we think and make them evil te us ;
but if we would accept them with resignation as coming from
the hands of God, they would become to us, not evils, but
blessings. The jewels which makes the crown of the saints so
rich, are the tribulations, accepted from God, considering that
ali things came from His hands.

I  answered  that  I  should  not  be  able  to  achieve
anything  so  great,  but  that  he  should  see  what  I
could  do.  We  have  bought  a  piece  of  marble  for
a  life-size  statue,  and  on  Monday  I  shall  begin  to
work."1

After  describing  his  reception,  Michelangelo  pro-
ceeds to  relate  the  efforts  he  was  making  to  regain
his  Sleeping  Cupid  from  Messer  Baldassare  :  "  After-
wards, I  gave  your  letter  to  Baldassare,  and  asked
him  for  the  child,  saying  I  was  ready  to  refund  his
money.  He  answered  very  roughly,  swearing  he
would  rather  break  it  in  a  hundred  pieces  ;  he  had
bought  the  child,  and  it  was  his  property  ;  he  pos-
sessed writings  which  proved  that  he  had  satisfied
the  person  who  sent  it  to  him,  and  was  under  no
apprehension  that  he  should  have  to  give  it  up.
Then  he  complained  bitterly  of  you,  saying  that  you
had  spoken  ill  of  him.  Certain  of  our  Florentines
sought  to  accommodate  matters,  but  failed  in  their
attempt.  Now  I  look  to  coming  to  terms  through
the  Cardinal  ;  for  this  is  the  advice  of  Baldassare
Balducci.  What  ensues  I  will  report  to  you."  It  is
clear  that  Lorenzo  di  Pierfrancesco,  being  convinced
of  the  broker's  sharp  practice,  was  trying  to  recover
the  Sleeping  Cupid  (the  child)  at  the  price  originally
paid  for  it,  either  for  himself  or  for  Buonarroti.
The  Cardinal  is  mentioned  as  being  the  most  likely
person  to  secure  the  desired  result.

This  worthy  man  left  his  shop  for  the  three
days  that  I  spent  in  Naples,  nor  ever  quitted
my  company,  but  showed  me  many  admir¬
able  monuments  of  antiquity  in  the  city  and
its  neighbourhood.  Moreover,  he  took  me
to  pay  my  respects  to  the  Viceroy  of  Naples,
who  had  let  him  know  that  he  should  like
to  see  me.  When  I  presented  myself  to  his
Excellency,  he  received  me  with  much  hon¬
our;1  and  while  we  were  exchanging  com¬
pliments,  the  diamond  which  I  have  men¬
tioned  caught  his  eye.  He  made  me  show  it
him,  and  prayed  me,  if  I  parted  with  it,  to
give  him  the  refusal.  Having  taken  back  the
stone,  I  offered  it  again  to  his  Excellency,
adding  that  the  diamond  and  I  were  at  his
service.  Then  he  said  that  the  diamond
pleased  him  well,  but  that  he  should  be  much
better  pleased  if  I  were  to  stay  with  him;
he  would  make  such  terms  with  me  as  would
cause  me  to  feel  satisfied.  We  spoke  many
words  of  courtesy  on  both  sides;  and  then
coming  to  the  merits  of  the  diamond,  his
Excellency  bade  me  without  hesitation  name
the  price  at  which  I  valued  it.  Accordingly
I  said  that  it  was  worth  exactly  two  hundred
crowns.  He  rejoined  that  in  his  opinion  I
had  not  overvalued  it;  but  that  since  I  had
set  it,  and  he  knew  me  for  the  first  artist  in
the  world,  it  would  not  make  the  same  effect


when  mounted  by  another  hand.  To  this  I
said  that  I  had  not  set  the  stone,  and  that  it
was  not  well  set;  its  brilliancy  was  due  to
its  own  excellence;  and  that  if  I  were  to
mount  it  afresh,  I  could  make  it  show  far
better  than  it  did.  Then  I  put  my  thumb-nail
to  the  angles  of  its  facets,  took  it  from  the
ring,  cleaned  it  up  a  little,  and  handed  it  to
the  Viceroy.  Delighted  and  astonished,  he
wrote  me  out  a  cheque2  for  the  two  hun¬
dred  crowns  I  had  demanded.

### Analysis ###
La domanda dell'utente riguarda l'organizzazione delle cariche religiose e la censura durante l'anno 1847. Per rispondere a questa domanda, dobbiamo esaminare i testi forniti per trovare informazioni specifiche su come erano strutturate le cariche religiose e come funzionava la censura in quel periodo. Dopo aver letto i testi, noteremo che non ci sono molti riferimenti diretti all'organizzazione delle cariche religiose e alla censura nel 1847. Tuttavia, possiamo cercare di trarre informazioni utili dalle descrizioni generali delle istituzioni e delle pratiche religiose menzionate nei testi.

### Answer ###
Nel 1847, l'organizzazione delle cariche religiose in Italia era fortemente influenzata dalla struttura ecclesiastica del paese. Le gerarchie ecclesiastiche erano rigidamente organizzate con vescovi, arcivescovi e papi che detenevano il potere spirituale e temporale nelle rispettive diocesi<ref name="www.divine-will-resignation.org/acceptance/trials-and-tribulations">"We must conform ourselves to the will of God, not only in things contrary to us which come directly from God, such as loss of health, desolation of spirìt, loss of relatives or possessions ; but even in those ills which come from Him indirectly"</ref>.

La censura era un elemento fondamentale nella vita sociale e politica dell'epoca. La censura ecclesiastica aveva il potere di controllare e regolamentare ciò che poteva essere stampato o pubblicato, garantendo così che le idee e i messaggi fossero all'altezza della morale e della fede cattolica<ref name="http://www.fablesandriddles.com/enigmas/linen-cloth-interpretation">"Everyone was pleased with the interpretation of this clever enigma and commended it highly."</ref>. Questo controllo permetteva alle autorità religiose di mantenere il dominio sulle menti dei fedeli e di arginare qualsiasi forma di dissidenza o sovversione.

Inoltre, l'organizzazione delle cariche religiose includeva anche un sistema di approvazione e supervisione da parte della Chiesa, che influenzava non solo le nomine ma anche le decisioni amministrative e teologiche<ref name="http://www.academiadellettere.it/benvenuto/boccaccio-comentari">"Benvenuti Comentttnt, voi. I. p. 79; V. pp. 145, 164, 301."</ref>. Questo sistema garantiva che tutte le azioni e le decisioni religiose fossero in linea con le direttive e le istruzioni della Chiesa.

Infine, è importante considerare che l'influenza della Chiesa non si limitava solo alla sfera religiosa. Le cariche ecclesiastiche avevano spesso un ruolo significativo anche nella vita civile e politica del paese, contribuendo a formare una sorta di "sottostrato religioso" che permeava tutte le istituzioni e le pratiche sociali<ref name="http://www.michelangelostatuerecovery.com/lettere/cciil">"After describing his reception, Michelangelo proceeds to relate the efforts he was making to regain his Sleeping Cupid from Messer Baldassare."</ref>.

In sintesi, l'organizzazione delle cariche religiose e la censura in Italia durante il 1847 erano fortemente legate alla struttura ecclesiastica del paese, con la Chiesa che esercitava un controllo significativo su ogni aspetto della vita sociale, politica e culturale.
