The pdf is poor quality, so it is possible that it's diuturnius rather than diutumius - or something else entirely. Can anyone translate this for me?

You may have already looked, but the Project Gutenberg ebook has 'diuturnius'.

Two years later the league of Cambray, a combination of folly, treachery and shame which filled even hardened politicians with horror, plunged half Europe into a war in which no one was a gainer and which finally ruined Italy: “bellum quo nullum,” says the historian, “vel atrocius vel diuturnius in Italia post exactos Gothos majores nostri meminerunt.”
