This library is built in the open.
If you spot an error, have a suggestion, or just want to say hello — we’d love to hear from you.

therefore, I wished to consecrate this Disputation on the oath of calumny original: "iuramento calumniae", useful and necessary in the forum, to your name and authority, as a testimony of perpetual gratitude and a pledge of due observance. Although it may respond less to your excellence and dignity: yet, relying on the humanity with which you are endowed, and since I know that you are not so much delighted by these shadow-like exercises note: a humble reference to academic student work as you are greatly favorable to them, I trust clearly that you will receive it with a fair and good mind: and I am entirely persuaded that you will hold the same promptness of spirit, benevolence, and zeal for promoting [my studies] which you began to have toward me, in the future as well.
Farewell.
