[Footnote 004: "Roswede, or Aroswethe, a nun in the monastery of
Gardersheim, lived in the reigns of Otho II. and III. towards the end of
the tenth century. She composed many works in prose and verse. In 1501,
some of her poems, on the Martyrdom of St. Denys, the Blessed Virgin,
St. Ann, &c. were printed at Nuremburgh. Her verses in praise of Otto
II. would be tolerable, if they were not Leonines: there are in them
some errors of prosody." Bib. Univers. et Histor. Vol. ii. p. 46.]
[Footnote 005: For a fuller account of Feudal and Civil Jurisprudence,
the writer of these pages begs leave to refer to his work, entitled,
"HORÆ JURIDICÆ SUBSECIVÆ, being a connected series of Notes respecting
the Geography, Chronology, and Literary History of the principal Codes
and original Documents of the Grecian, Roman, Feudal, and Canon Law." 1
vol. 8vo.]
[Footnote 006: It is entitled, "_Martiani Minei Felicis Capellæ
Carthaginiensis, Viri Procunsularis, Satyricon, in quo de Nuptiis
Philologiæ et Mecurii libri duo, & de septem artibus liberalibus libri
singulares. Omnes, et emendati et Notis sive Februis Hug. Grotii
illustrati. Ex Officina Plantiniana, Apud Christophorum Raphelingium
Academiæ Lugduno-Bat. Typographum_ M. D. C." [Transcriber's note:
Apostrophic date 1600] The Dedication to the Prince of Condé follows:
then, Encomiastic Verses by Scaliger, and Tiliabrogus. The two works are
then inserted, with an address to the reader, Errata, and Various
Readings. Afterwards, _Hugeiani Grotii Februa[007] in Satyricon Martiani
Capellæ:_ this contains his notes. They are preceded by an Engraving of
Grotius. Round it, is written, "_Anno_ M. D. C." [Transcriber's note:
Apostrophic date 1600] Hora Ruit.[008] Æt.xv. Under the engraving the
following verses are printed,
"_Quem sibi quindenis_ ASTRÆA _sacravit ab annis,
Talis,_ HUGEIANI GROTII _ora fero_."]
[Footnote 007: "Corrections"--or more literarily, "Purifications".]
[Footnote 008: These words were used by Grotius for his motto.]
[Footnote 009: Fabricii Bibliotheca Latina, Lib iii. c. 15. In 1794,
John Adam Goez published the "Treatise on the Marriage of Philology and
Mercury" separately, in a duodecimo volume: he mentions, in the preface,
an edition of it by Walthard. It is on the authority of Goez that we
have assigned the age of Capella to the third century: others place him
in a much later period.]
