Writers on Agriculture, Volume I

While I was thinking of sending these very writings with Palladius to Leipzig, behold, from Vienna, the kindness of a most learned man, original: "Weigelii" a Doctor of Medicine of Leipzig, to whom we shall owe the Greek Aetius original: "Aetium graecum" edited and restored based on the faith of many codices, kindly submits to me a specimen of various readings described from the paper codex of the Imperial Library original: "Bibliothecae Caesareae" signed number 210, the title of which was published in the written catalog as follows: Palladius's book on the grafting of trees, consisting of XVIII Epigrams. original: "Palladii liber de arborum insitione XVIII. Epigrammatibus constans" It is read inserted into the written volume in quarto format from folio 183 to 186. My very good friend Weigelius, who will soon grace me and my readers with the variety of readings excerpted from the codex of Varro and Columella, omitted noting the arguments of the remaining books. Moreover, the codex begins at verse 35, whence I suspect that the remaining verses, together with the Letter to Pasiphilus original: "Epistola ad Pasiphilum" written in an ancient copy from which the codex was transcribed, held their place before the prosaic books of Palladius, following the example of the Wratislavian book original: "libri Wratislaviensis" of which Schwarzius testifies at the beginning of the Letter.

I cannot fail to include in this final Preface the praise for the outstanding kindness and benevolence of original: "Io. Bern. Koeleri" of Lübeck, formerly a Professor at the University of Königsberg original: "Vniversitate literaria Regiomontana", who deserved well in many ways for both Greek and Latin letters.
