The Latin Works of Giordano Bruno

press. And these errors, naturally, have been amended, each in its place, in the text of the present reprint. But this was not done for a few other typographical errors not recorded in the Brunian Correction List original: "Errata-Corrige Bruniano": as, for example, on page 25, line 18, edoremur a likely typo for "we were being taught", which it seems should say edoceremur; on page 42, line 25, inexis-tentemque; on page 59, line 14, in timiusque; on page 79, line 15, aptasunt; on page 80, line 11, offerunti, which, evidently, stand there by a printing mistake in place of inexsistentemque "and non-existent", intimiusque "and more inward", apta sunt "they are fit", and offerunt "they offer", and which the reader will correct for themselves.

Such scrupulous fidelity to the original edition might, perhaps, seem excessive. It is certain, however, that whoever has not seen that edition (and, undoubtedly, there will be many, so rare is it), will be able to say, seeing this one, without fear of being mistaken:

“This reprint is exactly the same; if you except the changed characters The font or typeface used in the 19th century versus the 16th century., the omitted abbreviations, and the different paper, I have the original before me.”

As for the printing corrections, the greatest diligence possible has been applied. Once the volume was printed, reread, and compared with the text, no other error was found except, on page 25, an adsimilitam for adsimilatam "assimilated" or "made similar". And if this is the only one, as is to be hoped, the surviving editor of the reprint of this volume will have reason to call himself content with his work.
