‘<Q>uidam princeps nomine Albuguafe in libro suo quem scienciarum electionem et verborum nominavit… <B>onum scire fuit quod sapientibus non deviantibus visum est — et abbreviationem, arogantiam et collaudationem, tunc iam sequitur et honestum est ut ponamus hic in finem libro. Expleta est dictio tredecima libri Ptolomei et cum ea completur liber Almagesti de disciplinalibus.’ = Ptolemy, Almagesti (tr. Gerard of Cremona) (A.1.2)
