Dixit Ptholomeus: Iam scripsi tibi, Pesure (!), libros de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Scientia stellarum ex te et illis est… Cum dixit Ptholomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenosse desiderat — et ego precor Deum ut te dirigat. Perfecta est huius libri translatio tertio die mensis Martii, secundo die mensis Gumedi secundi anno Arabum 5302. Expliciunt centum verba Ptholomei. Scriptus et finitus Loven. per manus Tristrandi anno domini 1437, sexto die mensis Septembris, hora 9 post meridiem.’ |
