Quotes about Domenico Silvio Passionei
He was a man passionately devoted to letters, and somewhat vehement in character. At the conclave of 1758, he was on the point of being elected Pope: he had obtained eighteen votes; but the fears inspired by the inequality of his temper caused him to be set aside.
Jean-Baptiste Cotton des Houssayes, The Duties and Qualifications of a Librarian (1780)
His character was impetuous and haughty, especially towards the Romans.
Umberto Benigni, Domenico Passionei (1913) Catholic Encyclopedia
