Pino Blasone on Francis and the Sultan

For those of you who have followed my posts about Francisco and Bernardo, the first two characters on stage in Hamlet, and my research regarding the lives of the saints after whom they may have been named (Francis of Assisi and Bernard of Clairvaux), and if you are LinkedIn members, you might be interested in a recent post by Pino Blasone, essayist, teacher of Latin and philosophy, cultural journalist, writer of verse and fiction, and on LinkedIn, often reflecting on art and art history:

If you have not read my posts on Francis and Bernard, you can type into the search bar at the top right of this blog, the name "Francisco" and also (new search) the name "Bernardo" (or Francis, Bernard) and you'll find them quickly.

You can also look for those posts I have labeled "Francisco & Bernardo" by using the label list search from the drop-down menu in the upper left on this blog (three lines on top of one another, like an = sign with an extra line). Soon I hope to make available an index of my posts about Francisco and Bernardo.

Here's a screen shot of Pino's post:
