4738. [4742] CONCERNING DISEASES. ((A certain one - who, during the life of the body, was an adulterer [King Frederick], and placed his highest delight therein, without any conscience about injuring the matrimonial covenant, and, moreover, was lascivious in the highest degree and wholly given up to pleasures, so that he did not wish to perform any use save on his own behalf, and for the sake of his adultery and his pleasure - he was with me several days, beneath the feet. And when he changed his state, he inflicted, whithersoever he came, some pain on the periosteal* and the nerves there; sometimes on the left part of the loins, at the hinder portion, sometimes on the toes of the sole of the left foot, sometimes on the periostea of the breast beneath the right diaphragm, and also on the lower row of teeth, and so on, here and there. [4743] This sphere, when he operated, produced a great heaviness of the stomach, to such a degree that I thought I should fall dead; for he assailed and hurt all the periostea, even of the head, if permitted, for he was also a dissembling hypocrite: [he operated] also, into the periosteum of the right eye.)) * The periosteum is the skin of the bones. It is most keenly sensitive to pain.
