Abstract
The books on the way have not yet reached him, but he will not wait
any longer to write and send his salutations and thanks for the honours
you have done me and particularly for the salutations extended to me
by your strenuous brother, Vlamingius and Burmann, and to congratulate
you on your marriage. He explains his mystification about the Dio of
which a part had been displayed, and the general silence on the subject
of Dio's "autograph$$", as to which there exists a letter of
Sannazarius to Cardinal Bibienus [an obscure passage]. Gorius is soon
to bring out the Donian inscriptions which will be an excellent work
though he regrets that he is including some trashy excerpts (detailed).
He warns him that that self trumpeting man of Verona now at Paris to
cry up his shams along with a man from Hamburg is threatening us with
a rehash in one volume of the whole of Gruterus, Reinesius; Fabricius,
Gudius and any and every other editor of a work on inscriptions. I
have had two Englishmen with me who know O. one of them certainly a
good scholar.
