Excerpt from M. Tvllii Ciceronis De Legibvs Libri
Ad Vossianorum igitur memoriam nerba Ciceronis recensui, quae iam in eo libro, unde reliqui ducti sunt, omni genere uitiorum inquinata legebantur. Ac multa menda, leuiora praesertim, correctores eorum sustule runt, quamquam iidem hand raro bona deprauarunt aut corrupta corruptiora dederunt: alia in Heinsiano emendate scripta sunt, et bona pars probarum emenda tionum ex aliis libris hauritur, qui nulla. Auctoritate eum tantum usum habent, ut per grassantem interpola tionis temeritatem subinde nere inuenta praebeant. Id genus librorum, quod praeter Leidenses adhibui, deteriorum nomine comprehendi, quorum lectiones selectas quas in adnotatione posuj e Dauisii Goerenzii, Mo seri, Bakii, Feldhuegelii commentarns collegi. At nel sic restant non paucae emendationes, quae inde ab ultimis ut uidetur editionibus propagatae certo auctore carent. Quas licet credibile sit magnam partem et ipsas e codicibus prompt-as esse, ego non potui nisi editionum nomine afi'erre: alias eorum editorum no minibus msrgmur, rn quorum libris primum apparent.
