Abstract

Welcomes him to Florence in gracefully and playfully complimentary words, and hopes he will find himself taken to their hearts by the persons of illustrous standing there. He rejoices in the forthcoming issue of Morellius' numismatic treasures, which has long been awaited to enrich other museums and illuminate antiquity. He adds a few further items, e.g., thanks O. for news of new literary productions, especially the Pithoean poems which Burmann has begun to get printed.
