Excerpt from Specimen Historicum Exhibens Scriptores Graecos De Rebus Persicis Achaemenidarum Monumentis Collatos: Quod, Annuente Summo Numine, Ex Auctoritate Rectoris Magnifici Simonis Vissering, Phil. Theor. Mag. Litt. Hum. Et Jur. Rom. Et Hod. Doct. Et in Facult. Jur. Prof. Ord., Amplissimi Senatus Academici Consensu Et Nobilissimae Facultatis PhilosophiaeQuanti autem sit momenti historia imperii Persici in complexu rerum humanarum, unicuique historiae non in curioso notum, inutile igitur in0pportunumque esset, si veluti apud complures in usu est, argumentum commen tationis laudare et extollere eniteremur. Omnes vero con sentientes me habiturum puto, quum contendo Persas ex populis orbis antiqui esse celeberr1m1s et quorum historia accurate tractetur, dignissimis. Attamen optime scio, plura, quin pleraque in hac inesse dissertatione, quae nondum ad liquida'm sunt perducta, saepius coactus fui dubitantis vocabulum fortasse cante dicere, ubi alius ali quid certi sibi repperisse visus erit, saepius me notissima quaedam attingere oportuit. In universo haec Gellii verba in meam rem vertam: Ab his igitur, si cur forte non nunquam tempus volupt'asque erit, Incubratiunculas istas cognoscere, petitum impetratumque volumus, ut in le gendo, quae pri'dem scierint, non aspernentur quasi nota invulgataque: (nam et quid tam remotum in literis est, quin id tamen complusculi sciant? Et satis hoc blandum est, non esse haec neque in scholis decantata, neque in commentariis protrita).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
