Abstract

Printed in Colomesius' "Vossii Epistolae" p.203 He loves him as a compatriot and for his wonderful erudition and eloquence. He explains his delayed acknowledgment of the edition of his orations which he found awaiting him on his return from England, and of which the first glimpses tempted him to further study. Of his own work nothing has appeared except an argumental edition of his "Oratoriae": he hopes now to polish up and supplement all his past writings. He commends the bearer, W. Simonius, advocate of the Royal Swedish judiciary in Livonia and son of the famous professor of eloquence at Rostock and them at Upsale.
