Both in the 3^{rd} and 4^{th} part of Richard Davis’s auction sale
catalogue (3^{rd} part (1688), p. 12, no. 550: 4^{th} part (1692), p.
18, no. 323) an Oxford edition of 1639 is mentioned; as well as in
Ersch and Gruber’s Encyclopædia: but the edition itself is not in the
greater libraries and ordinary bibliographies. The first edition was
in Dutch in 1722, the Latin editions before 1639 were all published at
Leyden in 1624, 1627, 1629, 1633 and 1637. There are Oxford editions
of 1660 and 1662, as well as later.
