	Charles Nauert on Lorenzo Valla and critical method (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Valla insisted that anyone who wants to write good Latin must define some one period, preferably the late republic and the early empire, and use only the words and grammatical practices found in authors of that period.
		Valla's critical attack was devastating, though in fact the papacy did not quit citing the Donation in defence of its political claims for several centuries.
		Valla himself had played this game skilfully, but his immense originality, so admired by modern historians of humanism, was not so evident to his contemporaries.

	The Donation of Constantine and the critique of Lorenzo Valla
		Valla's text is not a modern scholarly study, but a declamation - a piece of rhetoric.
		However, Valla is being a little disingenuous here, since he refers to the Emperor Sigismund coming to Rome to be crowned, and being forced by Pope Eugenius IV to confirm the Donation.
		Valla refers to alleged bogus miracles at Rome, a bible supposedly written by Jerome which he found to be medieval from the subscriptio and written by an ignorant man, and the tricks and charlatanry that surrounds any tourist site.
