Manuscript of Niccolo Machiavelli’s “toilet seat letter”, transcribed by his grandson, Giuliano De Ricci, who censored out a large part of it(all of the blotted out words) because of numerous remarks that he found deeply offensive for religious reasons(translation in comments)[1240×1754]

What a brilliant letter
Brilliant and sardonic. This was a very fun read even before the setting.
I’ve been loving these Machiavelli letters posts lately
Can the censored stuff be restored/read nowadays?
