This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... NOTES CHAPTER I 1 Josias Simler, in his work "De Alpibus Commentarius," 1574, (p. 68), gives the following hypothesis on the etymology of the name of the Monte Silvio: "Non nulli montes a ducibus et Claris viris qui forte exercitum per haec loca duxerunt nomen acceperunt; . . . apud Vallesianos mons Sempronius qui et Scipionis dicitur (Simplon) et mons Silvius: a Romanis ducibus haec nomina accepisse videntur." The most learned T. G. Farinetti readopted this hypothesis, and produced it in the Bulletin of the Italian Alpine Club (vol. ii., 1867, p. 107): "Silvius was probably a Roman leader who sojourned with his legions in the land of the Salassi and the Seduni, and perhaps crossed the Theodul Pass between these two places. This Silvio may have been that same Servius Galba whom Cresar charged with the opening up of the Alpine passes, which from that time onward traders have been wont to cross with great danger and grave difficulty (Caesar, "De Bello Gallico," book iii.). Servius Galba, in order to carry out Caesar's orders, came with his legions from Allobrogi (Savoy) to Octodurum (Martigny) in the Valais, and pitched his camp there. The passes which he had orders to open from there could be no other than the St. Bernard, the Simplon, the Theodul, and the Moro; it therefore seems likely that the name of Servius, whence Silvius and later Servin, or Cervin, was given in his honour to the famous pyramid." We do not exactly know at what period the new name of Mont Servin, or Cervin, replaced the old, from which it seems to be derived. 2 We have no proof that the Theodul Pass was known to the Romans; it was certainly crossed in the Middle Ages. The Rev. W. A. B. Coolidge tells me that he has found mention of the passage of the Col in a...
