 524 NOTES AND QUERIES. [io* s. iv. DEC. 30. 1862), " Polupragmaticus. Nostin'paradoxum absurdum aliquod ? | Explosum renovabis, aut finges aliud de novo, | Moveri terram, stellas et lunam incoli, et hujusmodi. | Simon A<-a. t us. Ridiculuin." P. 12, n. 12; 2. n. p, "Volucrum voces & linguas intelligere se dicit Abderitans Ep. Hip." A. E. 8. prints Abderitanus. At 9th IS. xii. 363 Abderitanis was suggeited. But ed. 1 has Abderitani, which is obviously right. The word does not belong to the preceding sen- tence, but is part of the reference (ep. 10, professing to be from the senate and people of Abdera to Hippocr.). P. 13, 2 ; 2, 27, " put out his eys." Cf. iii. 357, 19 ; 632, 2, III. iii. iv. ii. ad Jin. ; and see the reff. given by Mullach, ' Fr. Philos. Grtec.,' vol. i. (1860), 331, col. 1, n. 39. P. 13, n. 9 ; 2, n. y, " Non sum dignus prse- stare matellajm] Hart." (x. 11, 3). Cf. ' Philo- soph.,' IV. ii. 56, p. 71, " Et licet ei dignus, quod aiunt, prsestare matt-Ham | Non sis." P. 13, 27 : 3, 3, "Jovius." His exact words are " in ea luce domicilii totius orbis, Vaticance- que aulce, ubi per trigintaseptem annos multa opportunaque didicerim." P. 14, 1; 3, 7, " to be an unprofitable or unworthy a Member." S. retains the a, which has crept into the text by an error. P. 14, 18; 3, 22, " which Gesner did in modesty." Burton gives the ref. "Prsefat. bibliothec.," but see fol. 180 rect. of the 'Biblioth.' (Pt. L, 1545) under Conradus Gesnerus Tigurinus, where G, describing his life when a student at Paris, says (less than one-sixth through the article):— " Uariosauthoressinecerto fine peruolitabam, multa interim transilieua paucos libros iutegre perlegebam quod plurimis hodie impedimentum accidit quo minus proticiant." P. 17, n. 9 ; 5, n. u. To the list may be added Bishop John Wool ton's ' A Newe Anatomy of the whole Man' (Lond., 1576), 'The Anathomie of Sinne' (Loud., 1603), William Gowper's ' The Anatomie of a Chris- tian Man' (Lond., 1611), and Sala's ' Anatoiuia Vitrioli.' P. 18, 15 ; 5, 37, " Scire tuum nihil est, nisi ie icire hoc sciat alter" (Persius, i. 27, where the line ends with a note of interrogation). These words had become proverbial. John Owen adopts them in his first volume (lib. ii. 43) :— Thfologm. Scire tuum nihil eat, nisi te scire hoc sciat alter. Politico*. Si sciat hoc alter, scire tuum nihil eat. Burton often citeo Persius. He has also several unacknowledged quotations from Owen. P. 18, n. 13; 5 n. b, " Jovius Prcef. Hist" His words are :— " Hac opinione [see above—" nihil beatina ewe potest, quam nominis famam immortalibus iouicti finimi nionuineutiaad non incertam apem sempitern* laudis extendiase "] ab ipaa atatirn adoleaceutia ira- butus, <fe post aliquot anuoa magia ac niagis non ignobili ratione contirmatus, impel leu IB Geuio, con- scribendie historian negotium auacepi." P. 19, 6; 6, 6, " Cardan professeth he writ his book De consolalione after liis son's death, to comfort himself." The 'De Cons.' was written earlier. At the time of his son's execution C. was engaged on the ' De Utili- tate ex adversis capienda,' and found the occupation to some extent a solace. See lib. i v. cap. 'De luctu'; § 57 of the whole work :— "Nunc nihil tarn profuit quam hsec scribere, emendate, lectitare Exiatimo ex auperis aliquem induxiase me ad ecribendtim hoc ne dolori auccum- berem Ubi ergo primus allatus eat nuncina tarn aaavi interitua, expectabam enim hsec aeribena, quandoquidem nihil haberem potiua ad levandum dolorem." See also pp. 17 and 42 of ' De Libris Pro- priis' (Pt. II. of 'Somn. Synes.,' itc.. 1562). P. 19, n. 14; 6, n. o, " Mayit impium furari." The translation is that of Dionysius Petavius (" Magis autem impium esse arbitrpr mortuorura lucubrationes.quam vestes furari," Synes., ' Op. Gr. ac Lat.,' p. 280c, Paris, 1612). The ep. is 142 (not 143) in Petavius, followed by Migne (' Patr. Grsec.,' torn. Ixvi. col. 1538s), epp. 79 and 80 being both numbered 79. P. 20, 1 ; 6, 28, " /tabes conHtentem reum." It should have been stated at 9th S. xii. 364 that the ultimate source is Cic. 'Pro Ligario,' 1, 2, in a passage referred to, though not quoted in full, by Quintil.,' IV. i. 67. Cf. the Latin comedy of 'Pedantius,' 1. 2702 (ed. by Prof. G. C. Moore Smith, vol. viii. of Prof. Bang's " Materialien zur Kunde des alteren Englischen Dramas," Louvain, 1905). P. 20, 2; 6, 29, "Tis most true as the Wise-man found of old." This is possibly suggested by Gesner, ' Biblioth.,' Pt. I., 'Epistol. Nuncupat.,' sign. *3 verso, 1. 37 (1545), "Vere Satyricus, Tenet insanabile multos scribendi cacoethes ; i, ut .Salomon inquit, componendi libros nullus est finis." Then follows " Oranes sibi famam," <kc., quoted by Burton below. P. 20, 1. 5 and n. 4 ; 6, 31, and n. r., "the number of books is without number, .presstt be oppressed, D. King pracfat. led. lonas." See King's 'Lectures upon lonas,' the Epistle Dedicatorie, sign. ITS recto (ed. 1611), " the number of books written in these ditie* without number," (and 1T3 verso) " whose ynhonest treatises, fitter for the fire than the bookes of Protagoras presses are daily oppressed with."
