How the Lady Fortune appeared to him, and gave him a rich purse that never wanted money; and also (in his travels) how he got from the Soldan a wishing hat, that by putting on his head, he could convey himself immediately into whatever place he desired. With an account how Fortunatus on his death-bed, declared to his two sons, Ampedo and Andolocia, the virtue of his purse and hat. |
