The collections of notes and various readings made by Joseph Torelli, of
Verona, in preparation for his edition of Archimedes, were deposited in
the Library, (F. _infra_, 2. _Auct._). They were given to the University
after his death (in 1781) by his executor, Albert Albertini, partly
through the instrumentality of Mr. John Strange, envoy to Venice, upon
condition that the University undertook the publication. The work was
consequently printed at the University Press, and issued in a handsome
folio volume in this year.
