. Stories of the Flemish & Dutch artists, from the time of the Van Eycks to the end of the seventeenth century . f Trajanhe remembered his far-famed love of justice, de-|ploring in his heart the uselessness of his virtues, since he had had no knowledge of the true God>;iSoon after he made his way to the Basilica ofSt. Peter and prostrated himself, full of sorrow, before the face of the Lord.
