Fabricius suggests that Petrus Scriverius also prepared a new edition of Nonius, based on unpublished letters of Gothofredus, Iungermannus, and Scriverius himself to Elias Putschius. Menagius in Menagiana, p. 301, reports that he himself possesses the manuscript notes of Franciscus Gujetus on Nonius. Philippus Pareus, in a letter written to Paulus Tossanus on January 24, 1643, testified that he possessed a Nonius compared with the Palatine Manuscript and reviewed by an entirely new method, and that he would publish it if his life continued. The book reached Fabricius. Vossius, p. 56, on Catullus, mentions his own observations on this writer. Fabricius bequeathed the edition of Hadrianus Iunius, compared by the hand of Iosephus Scaliger with two manuscripts and filled with his corrections and annotations from beginning to end, to the library of D. I. Fridericus Mayerus.

The strictures and emendations of Nonius by Christophorus Wase (Oxford, 1685, 4to) also offer aid, though they are very rare in these lands.

Furthermore, one should compare the Verisimilia, Book II, of Ianus Gulielmus; the Collectanea literaria Literary Collections of Caspar Iacobus Christianus Reuvens (Leiden, 1815, 8vo); and the Miscellanea critica Critical Miscellany of Seebodius and Friedemann, Vol. I.
