Footnotes “bring tension to the page of history. The real life of the page depends on that tension between footnote and text; and at best, I think, it is apparent, taut, and complicated.” Robert Brentano, “Bishops and Saints,” in Two Churches: England and Italy in the Thirteenth Century (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 1968; Berkeley: Univ. of California Press, 1988), pp. 353 and 375.
