![Hebelthuseyn filii Habube; quorum si compos fuissem, ver- sionem novam (non aeque horridam, confide-,) adaptare decre- veram. At de spe tanta ipse decidi : alios laus ilia manebit. Renascetur olim literaturae Orientalis cupido; et desinet pro- genies tandem oritura id nihili pendere et contemnere quod non satis intelligit. Reverendis Vice-Cancellario Oxoniensi, caeterisque Biblio- thecae Bodleianae Curatoribus, maximae debentur gratiae, quorum permissu mihi, homini inquilino, ad Codicum MSS. thesauram vere nobilem patuit accessus. Mente gratissima teneo, semperque tenebo, tantorum virorum beneficium, huma- nitate, candore, more conferendi, geminatum. Accipe, Lector canrlide, libellum, qui quoad bunc raorbum classicus appellari meruit; utilem forte quodammodo, licet minus necessarium. Si nimiae sint annotatiunculae, ignoscas. Scrip- titat plusquam sexagenarius ! Errata, benevole, corrigas leviora; gravia, spero, nulla supersunt. Nee paucis offendare maculis, •• —quas aut incuria fudit, Aut huraana parum cavit natura. Si lias primitias Tibi gratas esse sentiam, Albucasis, sive Alsaharavii, inter Arabas insignis, opus de Chirurgia, quod ex duobus MSS. in Bibliotheca Bodleiana servatis olim descripsi, cuique versionem Latinam fere novam accomruodavi, brevi se- quetur.1 Vale.
