Morellian, with several places changed, however, as has been more fully explained by me in the notes.

I. F. M. Herbell, a most learned man, shared with me a copy of the Sanctandrean edition of the ancient Astronomical writers, which once belonged to Petrus Burmannus the Younger, in whose margin are noted various readings, both of the Germanicus text and of the ancient Latin Scholiast. I gratefully acknowledge the benevolence of this most distinguished man, by which he wished to aid my labor in emending the Aratean works of Germanicus; it must be pointed out, however, that those various readings, insofar as they concern the text of Germanicus, were excerpted from the notes of Grotius; but that the emendations of the Latin Scholiast in individual places or words achieve little or nothing. This volume was almost already printed when there were brought into the Göttingen academic library copies of the Morellian edition of the Aratean works
