INTRODUCTION 



lished at Geneva in 1566.) The most accurate 

 and brilliant scholar who has contributed to the 

 elucidation of Theophrastus. 



R. Const. Robertus Constantinus (see above). Added 

 notes of his own, many of them valuable, which 

 are given with Scaliger's in Bodaeus' edition. 



Salm. Salmasius (Claude de Saumaise). Made many 

 happy corrections of Theophrastus' text in his 

 Exercitationes Plinianae. 



Palm. Jacobus Palmerius (Jacques de Paulmier). 

 His Exercitaliones in oplimos auctores Graecos 

 (Leyden, 1668) contain a certain number of 

 acute emendations ; Wimmer considers that he 

 had a good understanding of Theophrastus' 

 style. 



Meurs. Johannes Meursius (Jan de Meurs). Author 

 of some critical notes on Theophrastus pub- 

 lished at Leyden in 1640; also of a book on 

 Crete. 



Dalec. Jean Jacques D'Ale*champs : the botanist. 

 Author of Histona plantarum universalis, Lyons, 

 1587, and editor of Pliny's Natural History. 



Mold. J. J. P. Moldenhauer. Author of Tentamen 

 in Historiam plantarum Theophrasti, Hamburg, 

 1791. This book, which I have not been able 

 to see and know only from Wimmer's citations, 

 contains, according to him, very valuable notes 

 on the extremely difficult Introduction to the 

 ' Historia ' (Book I. chaps, i.-ii.).
