Magnifico Domino Cancellario] 

 The Danish nobleman Peder Reedtz 

 (1614—1674) was appointed Chancellor 

 of Denmark in 1660. The following year 

 he became Patron of the University of 

 Copenhagen (see Dansk biografisk Lexi= 

 kon, vol. XIII p. 564). — Bartholin en* 

 deavoured to pave the way for the ap* 

 pointment of Steno to a professorship 

 at the University. However, he later on 

 gave up this for the benefit of Matthias 

 Jacobssus. See note on p. 226.
