A reply to Jean Martin's lectures at the University of Paris criticizing Francois Saint-Vertunien's edition (Paris, 1578) of Hippocrates' De capitis vulneribus. That edition incorporates Scaliger's emendations of the Greek text

Martin's answer to the present work was published in the same year under title: ... Ad Josephi Scaligeri ac Francisci Vertuniani Pseudovincentiorum epistolam, responsio. Later authorities attribute the pseudonym, Nicolaus Vincentius, to Scaliger alone. Cf. Quérard, Supercheries litt.; Placcius, Theatrum anonymorum et pseudonymorum, 1708, pt. 2, p. 609
