    APPENDIX. IX. (Page 224.) [De Temperamentis, et Dc Inajquali Temperie, 4to. Cambridge, per Joan- nem Siberch, 1521.] Sanctissimo Domino nostro Pap® Leoni Decimo, Thomas Linacer, Medicorum minimus, S. D. Non hanc tibi lucubratiunculum meam, Beatissime Pater, quasi tuis aptam studiis dignamve affero, quern totum totius Christian® Reipublic® gubernaculis incumbere omnes scimus, sed quod studiosis earn futuram non ingratam sperem. Quibus quidquid usui esse potest, tibi quoque fore jucundum non dubito. Accedit quod quum recens in me collate non vulgaris munificentiee tu®, qua me quo- que, sicut reliquos quicunque te olim comitabamur in ludum, beare es dignatus, non immemorem me aliquo saltern officii genere declarare volui: unum hoc inter facili- tates meas quo id ofheere conarer literarium perspexi genus quod et mihi cui pene pr®ter literas nihil est, et tibi qui in literis es eminentissimus maxime visum sit congruens. In quo genere Galeni hie se obtulit libellus, brevis omnino, sed non minus philosophis, quam medicis necessarius. Qui brevitate sua simul officium meum minus erat mora- turus, simul me® in vertendo, quantul®cunque, certe tenuis facultatis gustum aliquem tibi pr®biturus. Perexigua (fateor) res nimisque impar qu® pro tant® benignitatis vel Mnemosyno ad sacram pr®sertim Celsitudinem tuam mitta- tur. Verum est cujus ipse vicem in terris gerispaupercul® mulieris duo minuta probavit: et mola salsa litare eos, qui thura non haberent, proditum non ignoras. Sunt sane mihi plura majoraque in manibus, qu® ut primum per valetudinem et ministerii mei officia licebit, si tibi h®c non displicere intelligam, sub nomine tuo (modb id non graveris)
