Synopsis

Excerpt from Aurelii Prudentii Clementis Opera, Vol. 1: Vincentius Lanfranchius Ad Bodonianam Editionem Exegit, Variis Lectionibus Atque Adnotatiunculis Illustravit

Dum hanc epistolam Cantł, inscriptam officinatori librario excudendam tipis consignarem, tantum virum, quo cum mihi vetus necessitudo intercedebat, longos adhuc annos studiis suis, et christiani nominis decori victurum augura bam. Quanquam enim iam pride... fallente vestigio, domi in l.umum prolapsus diu decubuit, medici nihil sibi huma nitus ex hoc casu eventurum coniirmabaut. Sed validus senex interdum sibi displicuisse aiebat; quunque VIII idus decem bres ipsi nonagesimum diem natalem agenti omnia fausta feliciaque essem precatus, postridie eius drei amieus omnium facillimus, gratias mihi ogit, sed litterulis vacillautibus et impexis, ut scribentis prolixam erga me voluntatem suam ostenderent, mannum ad officium iri'validain. Quippe ątov'īa, uti graeci dicunt, morbus latenter ventriculo insiderat; con pasque vegetum vividumque, brevi torpidum atque euectum abire in ątpocpiav visum est. Adpropinquantem mortem placido vultu adspexit; sanctissimisque ritibus peractis atque indul gentia Leonis X... P. M. Omni admissorum poena exolutus, V idus mart. Sub primum diem in snorum cornplexu, iam immortalitatis particeps, mortalitatem finierat.
