Antonii Rosanei Corcyrae Melenae Opus

Assiduis percontationibus eorum, qui conservationem opiduli Corcyrae Melenae Patriae meae miram quidem, et divino adscribendam Numini admirantes, seriem tam praeclari facinoris toties a me repetunt, hoc brevi comentariolo (3) satisfacere decrevi. Tu tantum Diva Virgo Mater, cujus opem firma fide credimus nobis eo in praelio certissimam adfuisse, sicuti servulum non es dedignata in iis omnibus dirrigere, ita quoque manum, et calamum per veritatis semitas in tua praeconia, et gratiarum actiones precor deducito.

Selimus, perfidus Turcarum Tyrannus, Othomanicae fraudis (4), non ut Solimanus pater dissimulator, sed ex professo haeres, et alumnus faedifrago bello Venetis Cyprum pene totam (***5) Famagustam jam anno ante ademerat, rebusque secundis elatus classem innumerabilem ex Helesponto, et aliis tam Aphricae, et Asiae, quam Europae natalibus (!) (6) ad Euboeam Calendis Maii convenire jussit. Ibi dum epibatis militibus ac remigibus caeterisque necessariis reliquum classis instruitur Alli Bassa emenso bis in eundo, et redeundo Carpathio cum delectis sexaginta triremibus praesidioque cum anona Leucosiae dimisso, ad Calendas Iunii rediens, pene trecentas alias levioris pernicitatis naves praeter onerarias sub altero ductore Pertavú nominato optime munitus offendit, easque in Christianorum damna praesertim Venetorum educit. Fama apud nostros de hujusmodi classe crebrescebat, trepidabaturque passim a nostris. Turcae vero in confinibus in dies graviora minabantur. (7) Tamen Summus Pontifex Pius V. opera Marci Antonii Columnae nutantes Venetos confirmavit, et ad confoederationem suam una cum Hispaniarum Rege Philippo II contra Turcas optimis conditionibus vix post Idus Maii protraxit (8). Segniter quidem ea confoederatio compacta est cum ab anno praeterito de ea captum fuerit tractari in causa fuerant suspitiones seditionum (9). Classis Veneta erat copiosa, sed dissipata pars in Creta sub Marco Quirino, et Antonio Canali insulam custodiebat, altera major Imperatorem rerum maritimarum Sebastianum Venerium, et Augustinum Barbadicum ejus legatum secuta se receperat in Sciciliam, Messanae
