Excerpt from Procli Diadochi in Primum Euclidis Elementorum Librum Commentarii

Egregia quidem his subvenit Barocius enu cleans difficiliora, emendans mendosa, explens la cunosa, addens desiderata, interpretans latine cunota. Idem, si voluisset, Proclum graecum videtur potuisse restituere. Nam divina providentia factum esse laudat, ut in insula Creta vetustissimum exemplar ad manus suas perveniret, ex quo exemplari et ipso pluribus in locis imperfecto impressum illud quoad posset diligenter se emendavisse dicit. Bono niam profectus invenit duo exemplaria manu scripta, alterum in bibliotheca S. Salvatoris alterum in biblio theca Fabricii Garzoni, medicam facultatem publice in Bononiensi Gymnasio profitentis, atque ex his omnibus exemplaribus quoad fieri potuit unum fecit mtegrum, quod e graeca lingua in latinam convertit.
