Adiungere visum est Pyrrhonis Eliensis philosophi vitam: nec non Claudii Galeni Pergameni De optimo docendi genere librum, quo aduersus Academicos Pyrrhoniosque disputat. MS. nostri varias lectiones & coniecturas aliquot margini insertas operi praefiximus. Indicibus item necessariis opus locupletauimus.
