  • I Misteri Del Processo MONTI E TOGNETTI
    1 Gaetano Sanvittore I misteri del processo MONTI E TOGNETTI ROMANZO 2 MILANO Presso CESARE CIOFFI, Editore Via S. Zeno, N. 7 1869 Proprietà letteraria, a norma della legge 25 giugno 1863, N. 2337 Tip. Guglielmini 3 I Il prete di vettura V’ha in Roma una classe di preti diseredati, che non hanno alcuna parte nell’orgia dei lauti piatti e della grasse prebende. Questi sciagurati vengono chiamati comune- mente preti di vettura. Per essi il maggior provento di lucro è quello che trag- gono dai mortori; e perciò a somiglianza dei corvi costoro fiutano l’odore dei morti, e calano a stormo sul fresco cadavere di un estinto. La loro opera, tanto per l’associazione, come per la messa, viene appigionata da un sensale, che contratta a cottimo col sagrestano della parrocchia, gli fornisce un dato numero di preti, e distribuisce a ciascuno di essi la dovuta mercede. La parte migliore del mortorio rimane naturalmente al sensale e al sagrestano; quelli che ne rica- vano minor profitto sono i preti di vettura. Questi preti traggono dunque una magra esistenza, accanto alle lautezze dei prelati e dei cardinali. Potreb- bero paragonarsi al mendico che raccatta le briciole sotto la mensa di Epulone. Un prete di vettura, fra i cinquanta e i sessant’anni, pic- colo, magro, con un viso da buon uomo, su cui stavano 4 dipinte le afflizioni di una vita stentata, il quale rispon- deva appunto al nome di Omobono, sgambettava per le vie di Roma, nella mattina del giorno 22 ottobre 1867. Il suo cappello colle ali disfatte, il suo abito stretto e monco, le calze di un nero rossastro, e le scarpe scalca- gnate attestavano lo stato poco florido delle sue finanze; mentre i lineamenti del suo volto smunto portavano l’im- pronta della timidezza e della rassegnazione.

Trabold, Ph.D. California State University, Northridge i i This thesis is dedicated to the immortal words of Ibn Abad Sina "Seek not gold in shallow vessels!" (Contra Alchemia, Praefatio) iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks are due my thesis committee for allowing a maverick to go his own way. Without their contributions, this experience would not have been what it has been. More could be said on this score but, to quote the Devil (whose advice I should have followed from the outset): "Mach es kurz! Am Juengsten Tag ist's nur ein F--z!" So I'll "make it short." I owe special thanks to Dr. Birgitta Wohl, who initially persuaded me that higher education is worthwhile; who expressed unfailing interest in my ideas and progress; and who, throughout, has provided a unique living example of wide learning and humanistic scholarship. Finally, this thesis could not have been written without the ever prompt, ever courteous services of the CSUN Library Inter-Library Loan Department.
