Maximi fiunt apud me, Pater in Christo Reverendissime simul ac Princeps Illustrissime, qui mediocri nati loco propria virtute sunt rerum dignitatisque fastigium assecuti. Qui enim a natalibus usque rerum principes existunt, hos mirum non est eum tenere posse, ut qui natura contigerit, ordinem. Eosque decebat et litterarum omnium et philosophiae cognitionem habere, si vellent, ut Augustine of Hippo, Saint (Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis, St. Augustine) (*354 – †430), saint and doctor of the Church; philosopher and theologian from the Roman province of Africa; Bishop of Hippo RegiusilleAugustine of Hippo, Saint (Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis, St. Augustine) (*354 – †430), saint and doctor of the Church; philosopher and theologian from the Roman province of Africa; Bishop of Hippo Regius inquit, cf.

None of Heyll’s translations of Aelius Galenus (Claudius Galenus, Galen of Pergamon) (*129 – †217), Greek physician and philosopherGalenAelius Galenus (Claudius Galenus, Galen of Pergamon) (*129 – †217), Greek physician and philosopher’s works that are known to us was dedicated to Dantiscus. It can be assumed that the translation mentioned was not published at that time.
