Onde poscia che di si mirabil secreto divenne padrone, facendosi quasi ogni giorno alcuna uccello recare, uccidendolo, et collo spirito suo in quello passando, il proprio corpo morto lasciava, et quanto à lui fusse piacciuto sollazzandosi, da nuovo nel corpo suo collo spirito ritornando, lasciando morto l'uccello, risuscitava.
1
Then after he had mastered the secret of the mystery, almost every day he had a bird brought, killed it, and as his spirit passed into it, his own dead body was left for dead. And after he had amused himself as much as he liked, he resuscitated himself by returning his spirit to his body again while leaving the bird dead.
